Hydrostatics

Part II covers the book’s core: applied, one dimensional hydraulics which starts with hydrostatics in Chapter 7. At the beginning hydrostatic pressure, pressure force and buoyancy are described. Next, the very helpful pressure diagrams are introduced before the hydrostatic paradox is discussed. Subsequently, the pressure on arbitrarily inclined flat objects is considered in the framework of the resulting forces and moments of force. Moving liquids and the consideration of compressed air volumes at constant temperatures (Boyle-Mariotte law) complete the chapter.
