Fountains Hydro-Statics 101

All liquids in a state of equilibrium exert pressure on the materials it comes in contact with. The force used falls into one of two categories: external force or hydrostatic energy. When pressing against a level wall, the fluid applies equal force at different points on the wall. All points on an object’s exterior are affected by vertical pressure when the object is completely submerged in a liquid that’s in a state of equilibrium. We refer to this concept Bonuses as Archimedes’ principle, which deals with the forces of buoyancy. When hydrostatic force is applied on an area of liquid, this will become hydrostatic pressure. These principles are applied to the containers used by plumbing, wells, and fountains.
