I have a question that has me questioning the laws of fluid physics. I will
be posting the question in a day or so, but first I want to get some others
input regarding water pressure at different depths.


Paging Jax!

.... First, do we all agree
that pressure is only dependant on depth of water?


Those of us who are not bull****ting pinheads, yes.

.... Lets say you had an
aquarium that was 3 feet high and 3 feet long and 2 feet front to back.
Fluid laws say it would not matter what the front to back measurement is.
The pressure on the front glass would be the same if the back of the
aquarium was two feet or 200 feet or 200 miles away, right?


Correct. The vertical distance between the given point and the surface
of the water is the determining factor... when the system is static...
