Concepts Used:
Hydrostatics
A branch of physics that deals with the characteristics of fluids at rest, particularly with the pressure in a fluid or exerted by a fluid (gas or liquid) on an immersed body is called Hydrostatics.
Hydrostatic Pressure:
Hydrostatic pressure is proportional to the depth measured from the surface as the weight of the fluid increases when a force is applied in a downward direction.
Formula for Hydrostatic Pressure:
