is it?
Gauge pressure
Pressure gauges (devices that measure pressure) donât actually measure
, the absolute pressure. They measure the
gauge pressure
:
Derivation
The formula for hydrostatic pressure is derived by using
Newtonâs first law of motion
and
Pascalâs Law
.
Recall that for a body at rest, the sum of all forces must be zero:
Letâs start by looking at an
incompressible fluid
that starts from sea level, and extends downwards. We know that for the forces to balance out, the force from the water must balance that from the atmosphere.
Furthermore, the atmospheric force is from the weight of all the air molecules:
Then the force from the fluid comes from the molecules inside the fluid.
Again, we tend to talk about things in terms of pressure, so for the
rectangular
area that is contact with the air, the pressures are equal:
Now, since we defined the fluid to be incompressible and it is confined, we can apply Pascalâs Law, which says the pressure is equal in a fluid
without gravity
.
If we take a circular disc of area,
at height
inside the fluid, due to Pascalâs Law, it must have the same pressure, meaning for each side of the disc (top and bottom), the forces must be equal:
Hydrostatic Pressure _1.excalidraw
Makes sense so far?
Now letâs introduce
Gravitational Forces
into the system. Pascalâs Law, unfortunately, doesnât quite behave the same anymore.
At
, we have the top surface experiencing a force due to the weight of air:
On the disk,
with area
we have cylindrical column of water above it, which adds extra force
on top of the pressure force!
Hydrostatic Pressure _2.excalidraw
In terms of pressure and density:
Since
, where h is the difference in y, we have:
dividing by
:
Now express everything in terms of y level: |

# Hydrostatic Pressure

When [Fluid](https://quartz-akz.pages.dev/fluid)s are defined to be âat restâ (that is, all forces are balanced) they are called **hydrostatic**. In hydrostatic fluids, the pressure increases the âdeeperâ we go.

### Derivation [§](https://quartz-akz.pages.dev/Hydrostatic-Pressure#derivation)
The formula for hydrostatic pressure is derived by using [Newtonâs first law of motion](https://quartz-akz.pages.dev/Newton's-Laws-of-Motion#first-law-law-of-inertia) and [Pascalâs Law](https://quartz-akz.pages.dev/Pascal's-Law).
Recall that for a body at rest, the sum of all forces must be zero:
â
F
\=
0
Letâs start by looking at an [incompressible fluid](https://quartz-akz.pages.dev/Fluid#compressibility) that starts from sea level, and extends downwards. We know that for the forces to balance out, the force from the water must balance that from the atmosphere.
Furthermore, the atmospheric force is from the weight of all the air molecules:
Fatmosphereâ\=matmosââ
g
Then the force from the fluid comes from the molecules inside the fluid.
Ffluidâ\=Fatmosphereâ

Again, we tend to talk about things in terms of pressure, so for the *rectangular* area that is contact with the air, the pressures are equal: 
Patmosphereâ\=AFatmosââ
Py\=0â\=AFfluidââ
Patmosphereâ\=Pfluid at y\=0â
Now, since we defined the fluid to be incompressible and it is confined, we can apply Pascalâs Law, which says the pressure is equal in a fluid **without gravity**.
If we take a circular disc of area, C at height y\=âh inside the fluid, due to Pascalâs Law, it must have the same pressure, meaning for each side of the disc (top and bottom), the forces must be equal:
[Hydrostatic Pressure \_1.excalidraw](https://quartz-akz.pages.dev/Hydrostatic-Pressure-_1.excalidraw)
Makes sense so far?
Now letâs introduce [Gravitational Forces](https://quartz-akz.pages.dev/Gravitational-Force) into the system. Pascalâs Law, unfortunately, doesnât quite behave the same anymore.
At y\=0, we have the top surface experiencing a force due to the weight of air:
Pfluidâ\=Pairâ\=Py\=0â
On the disk, C with area A we have cylindrical column of water above it, which adds extra force *on top of the pressure force\!*
âFCâ\=Ffluidâ\+Fweight of columnâ
[Hydrostatic Pressure \_2.excalidraw](https://quartz-akz.pages.dev/Hydrostatic-Pressure-_2.excalidraw)
In terms of pressure and density:
Fweight of columnâ\=mcolumnâg\=ĎfluidâVcolumnââ
g
PCââ
A\=Pfluidââ
A\+ĎVcolumnââ
g
Since Vcolumnâ\=Aâ
h, where h is the difference in y, we have:
PCââ
A\=Pfluidââ
A\+ĎAhg
dividing by A:
PCâ\=Pfluidâ\+Ďhg
Now express everything in terms of y level:
Pâhâ\=P0â\+Ďhg
