Hydro-Statics & Public Fountains: The Fundamentals

Hydro-Statics & Public Fountains: The Fundamentals Liquid in a state of equilibrium applies force on the objects it contacts, including its container. The force used falls into one of two categories: external force or hydrostatic energy. The pressure applied by the liquid against a level wall is equivalent at each point where it makes contact with the wall. When an object is totally submerged in a liquid, vertical force is applied to the object at each and every point. These vertical forces are buoyancy, and the concept itself is more fully described by Archimedes’principle. Liquid acted on by hydrostatic force is then subject to hydrostatic pressure at the point of contact. These concepts are applied to the containers used by plumbing, wells, and fountains.
