Hydrostatic Equations

Hydrostatic equations describe how pressure in a fluid, like water or air, changes with depth or altitude. They state that the pressure at a certain point increases with the weight of the fluid above it. In essence, the deeper you go underwater or the higher you go in the atmosphere, the higher the pressure becomes, due to the weight of the entire fluid column above. These equations help us understand phenomena like ocean pressure, weather patterns, and atmospheric behavior by relating pressure, gravity, fluid density, and height.
