hydrostatics

Example:The hydrostatic pressure at a certain depth in the ocean will increase as the depth increases.

Definition:The pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium due to the force of gravity.

Example:The hydrostatic support in cacti helps them to endure hot and dry climates.

Definition:The mechanism in plants that allows stems and leaves to remain erect due to the pressure of the fluid inside the cells, providing support without rigidity.

Example:A hydrostatic balance is commonly used in precision scales, often seen in dive shops or in the maritime industry.

Definition:A device for weighing objects in an environment of hydrostatic pressure, which is useful for measuring weight in water or other fluids.
