on Pressure
For a static fluid, the only stress is the normal stress since by definition a fluid subjected to a shear stress must deform and undergo motion. Normal stresses are referred to as pressure p.
For the general case, the stress on a fluid element or at a point is a tensor

on Pressure
For a fluid at rest, pressure is the same in all directions at this point. But can vary from point to point, e.g. hydrostatic pressure.
For a fluid in motion additional forces arise due to shearing action and we refer to the normal force as a normal stress. The state of stresses in a fluid in motion is dealt with further in Fluid Mechanics.
In the context of thermodynamics, we think of pressure as absolute, with respect to pressure of a complete vacuum (space) which is zero.
In Fluid Mechanics we often use gage pressure and vacuum pressure.

Common Pressure Units are:Pa (Pascal), mmHg (mm of Mercury), atm
(atmosphere), psi (lbf per square inch) 1 Pa = 1 N/m2 (S.I. Unit)
1 kPa =103 Pa 1 bar = 105 Pa (note the bar is not an SI unit) 1 MPa = 106 Pa
1 atm = 760 mmHg = 101,325 Pa = 14.696 psi

Basic Differential Equation: For a static fluid, pressure varies only with elevation within the fluid. This can be shown by consideration of equilibrium of forces on a fluid element.

Basic equation for pressure variation with elevation
Pressure variation equation can be integrated for γ(p,z) known. For example, here we solve for the pressure in the atmosphere assuming ρ(p,T) given from ideal gas law, T(z) known, and g ≠ g(z).

on Manometer
The elevation change of Δz in a fluid at rest corresponds to ΔP/ρg, which suggests that a fluid column can be used to measure pressure differences. A device based on this principle is called a manometer, and it is commonly used to measure small and moderate pressure differences. A manometer mainly consists of a glass or plastic U-tube containing one or more fluids such as mercury, water, alcohol, or oil.

on Manometer
Many engineering problems and some manometers involve multiple immiscible fluids of different densities stacked on top of each other. Such systems can be analyzed easily by remembering that:
1. The pressure change across a fluid column of height h is ΔP=ρgh
2. Pressure increases downward in a given fluid and decreases upward (i.e., Pbottom>Ptop), and
3. Two points at the same elevation in a continuous fluid at rest are at the same pressure.

on Fluid Statics
33
Fluid Statics deals with problems associated with fluids at rest.
In fluid statics, there is no relative motion between adjacent fluid layers.
Therefore, there is no shear stress in the fluid trying to deform it.
The only stress in fluid statics is normal stress Normal stress is due to pressure Variation of pressure is due only to the weight
of the fluid → fluid statics is only relevant in presence of gravity fields.
Applications: Floating or submerged bodies, water dams and gates, liquid storage tanks, etc.

When a surface is submerged in a fluid, forces develop on the surface due to the fluid. The determination of these forces is important in the design of storage tanks, ships, dams, and other hydraulic structures.

In each case, the fluid exerts a force on the surface of interest that acts perpendicular to the surface, considering the basic definition of pressure, p=F/A and the corresponding form, F=pA.
We apply these equations directly only when the pressure is uniform over the entire area of interest.

Would there be any difference between the force on the bottom of the cylinder drum and that on the bottom of the cone-shaped container.
The force would be the same because the pressure at the bottom is dependent only on the depth and specific weight of the fluid in the container. The total weight of fluid is not the controlling factor.

On a plane surface, the hydrostatic forces form a system of parallel forces
For many applications, magnitude and location of application, which is called center of pressure, must be determined.
Atmospheric pressure Patm can be neglected when it acts on both sides of the surface.

on Buoyancy, Flotation, and Stability
The same principles used to compute hydrostatic forces can be applied to the net force on a completely submerged or floating body. The results are the two laws of buoyancy discovered by Archimedes in the third century B.C.:1. A body immersed in a fluid experiences a vertical
buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
2. A floating body displaces its own weight in the fluid in which it floats.

on Stability
A body in a fluid is considered stable if it will return to its original position after being rotated a small amount about a horizontal axis.
The condition for stability of bodies completely submerged in a fluid is that the center of gravity of the body must be below the center of buoyancy.
The center of buoyancy of a body is at the centroid of the displaced volume of fluid, and it is through this point that the buoyant force acts in a vertical direction.
The weight of the body acts vertically downward through the center of gravity.

Much of the upper structure is filled with light syntactic foam to provide buoyancy. This causes the center of gravity (cg) to be lower than the center of buoyancy (cb), achieving stability.
Previous figure shows the stability of a submerged submarine.
Because their lines of action are now offset, these forces create a righting couple that brings the vehicle back to its original orientation, demonstrating stability.

on Stability of Floating Bodies
In part (a) of the figure, the floating body is at its equilibrium orientation and the center of gravity (cg) is above the center of buoyancy (cb).
A vertical line through these points will be called the vertical axis of the body.
Figure (b) shows that if the body is rotated slightly, the center of buoyancy shifts to a new position because the geometry of the displaced volume has changed.
The buoyant force and the weight now produce a righting couple that tends to return the body to its original orientation.
Thus, the body is stable.

The vertical line upward from the new position of the center of buoyancy intersect the vertical axis of the body in the point (mc) called metacenter, which is independent of Δθ for small angles.
If the point (mc) is above (cg) (that is, if the metacentric height is positive), a restoring moment and the position is stable.
If (mc) is below (cg) (negative metacentric height), the body is unstable and will overturn if disturbed.

If the metacentric height MG is positive, the body is stable.
