Fluid Statics

Fluid statics is branch of fluid mechanics that deals with forces acting on fluid at rest.
3.1 Pascal’s law – Pascal’s law states that pressure at any point of static fluid equal towards all directions in plane.

As shown in fig 3.1.1, when force applied on piston 1 it transmits force from static fluid and force applied on piston 2 as per Pascal’s law of static fluid.

Applications of fluid statics
I.  It is useful for hydraulic press and hydraulic jack.
II. It is applied in hydraulic braking system
III. This law is applicable for manometers and used to measure pressure differences
IV. It can be useful for dams
Following is one example applications of fluid static
3.2 Manometer -

Manometer is device used to check pressure difference at any point of fluid. It is used measure pressure of air and gases.
