Calculate Hydrostatic Force









Formula

The formula to calculate the Hydrostatic Force is:

\[ H_f = (\rho \cdot g \cdot h - p_0) \cdot A \]

What is Hydrostatic Force?

A hydrostatic force, also commonly referred to as the buoyant force, is a measure of the force acting on an object that is submerged underwater that arises from the differences in pressure between the water and the atmosphere above it.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the hydrostatic force:

\[ H_f = (1000 \cdot 9.81 \cdot 10 - 101325) \cdot 2 = 186475 N \]

The hydrostatic force is 186475 N.
