hydrostatic properties

Hydrostatic properties refer to how fluids (liquids and gases) behave under pressure and at rest. They include measurements like how much a fluid weighs (density), how it exerts pressure in all directions (pressure distribution), and how it responds to forces (buoyancy). These properties are essential for understanding phenomena such as why objects float or sink, how fluid systems work, and how underwater or aerospace environments are designed. Essentially, hydrostatic properties describe the fundamental physical characteristics that govern how fluids behave when they are not moving or are in equilibrium.
