Hydrostatic Pressure Measurement

Hydrostatic pressure measurement involves determining the force exerted by a fluid at a specific depth due to gravity. When a liquid is contained or at rest, the pressure increases with depth because of the weight of the fluid above. This pressure can be measured using devices like a manometer or pressure sensors, which help calculate important parameters such as fluid levels or density. It’s widely used in fields like oceanography, hydrology, and engineering to assess water depths, tank contents, or pressure in pipes, providing vital information about fluid systems.
