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... Regards Doug King |
