A Layman's Guide to Hydrostatics
A Layman's Guide to Hydrostatics When in equilibrium, liquid applies force to its container or any other material it comes in contact with. The force applied falls into one of two categories: external force or hydrostatic energy.
The pressure applied by the liquid against a level wall is equal at every point where it makes contact with the wall. Liquid in equilibrium will apply vertical pressure at every point of an object’s exterior when that object is fully submerged in the liquid. This is also identified as buoyancy or the Archimedes’ principle. Hydrostatic pressure is created by hydrostatic force, when the force exerts itself on a point of liquid. A city’s water supply system, fountains, and artesian wells are all samples of the application of these principles on containers.
Water-raising System by Camillo Agrippa
Water-raising System by Camillo Agrippa Unfortunately, Agrippa’s great plan for raising water was not mentioned a lot following 1588, when Andrea Bacci acclaimed it publicly. Only years later, in 1592, the early contemporary Roman waterway, the Acqua Felice, was attached to the Medici’s villa, possibly making the unit outdated. The more plausible reason is that the unit was forgotten once Franceso di Medici, Ferdinando’s siblingexpired in 1588, leading him to give up his rank as cardinal and go back to Florence where he received the throne as the Grand Duke of Tuscany. It might violate gravity to raise water to Renaissance landscapes, supplying them in a way other late sixteenth century models like scenographic water presentations, musical water fountains and giochi d’acqua or water caprices, were not.
Often serving as architects, sculptors, artists, engineers and cultivated scholars all in one, from the 16th to the late 18th century, fountain designers were multi-talented individuals,...
