Hydrostatikgewicht
Hydrostatikgewicht is a term used to describe the hydrostatic forces that a fluid at rest exerts on immersed bodies or surfaces. In a static fluid, pressure increases with depth according to p(h) = p0 + ρ g h, where p0 is the pressure at the fluid surface, ρ is the fluid density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth below the surface. This pressure distribution creates a resultant force on any submerged object, known as the hydrostatic or buoyant force.
The buoyant force acts upward and is governed by Archimedes’ principle: its magnitude equals the weight of
For practical calculations, the total hydrostatic force on a surface is found by integrating pressure over
