Description
Hydrostatic pressure. Illustration showing a can of water with holes drilled at different heights. Water from the hole at the bottom squirts out fastest, and water from the top hole squirts out slowest. This demonstrates variation in hydrostatic pressure, the pressure that is exerted by a fluid due to the force of gravity. Hydrostatic pressure increases in proportion to depth measured from the surface. As the depth increases, the increasing weight of fluid above exerts increasing pressure.
