Hydrostatic pressure
Storyboard
A column of liquid exerts force on its base due to its mass. Since this force is directly proportional to the cross-sectional area, it is useful to introduce the concept of force per unit area, which we call pressure.
Pressure can be influenced by the motion of the liquid, and we distinguish between general pressure and hydrostatic pressure (hydro = liquid, static = without motion).
