Hydrostatic thrust is the force exerted by a fluid on a surface due to the pressure of the fluid at rest.
Hydrostatic thrust is calculated using the formula F = ρghA, where ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, h is the depth of the fluid, and A is the area of the surface.
The hydrostatic thrust is affected by the density and depth of the fluid, as well as the size and shape of the surface it is acting on.
Hydrostatic thrust is used in many applications, such as determining the buoyancy of objects in water, calculating the forces on dams and other structures, and designing submarines and other underwater vessels.
The most common units for hydrostatic thrust are Newtons (N) or pounds (lbs), depending on the unit system used. Other units include kilonewtons (kN) and kilograms (kg).
