The Function of Hydrostatics In The Design Of Outside Garden Fountains

All liquids in a state of equilibrium exert energy on the materials it comes in contact with. There are 2 forms, hydrostatic load or external forces. When pushing against a level wall, the fluid applies equal force at assorted points on the wall. When an object is totally immersed in a liquid, vertical force is applied to the object at every point. These vertical forces are buoyancy, and the concept on its own is more fully described by Archimedes’principle. When hydrostatic force is exerted on an area of liquid, this becomes hydrostatic pressure. These concepts are applied to the containers used by plumbing, wells, overpriced gravity and fountains.
