Question

what is hydrostatic pressure ??​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure that is exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity. Hydrostatic pressure increases in proportion to depth measured from the surface because of the increasing weight of fluid exerting downward force from above.

Answer 2

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure that is exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity. Hydrostatic pressure increases in proportion to depth measured from the surface because of the increasing weight of fluid exerting downward force from above

The pressure in a liquid at a given depth is called the hydrostatic pressure. This can be calculated using the hydrostatic equation: P = rho * g * d, where P is the pressure, rho is the density of the liquid, g is gravity (9.8 m/s^2) and d is the depth (or height) of the liquid.

Other visible signs of basement moisture problems due to hydrostatic pressure often include:

1. Efflorescence on basement walls or floor.
2. Mold growth.
3. Humidity in the basement.
4. Strange smells in the basement.
5. Walls that bow inward or outward.
6. Cracks in walls.
