Engineering Fluid Dynamics: Proof of the Static Pressure Head equation

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on proving the Static Pressure Head equation, H = p/ρg, emphasizing the relationship between pressure (p), density (ρ), and gravitational acceleration (g). Participants highlight that pressure and height are dimensionally compatible due to the roles of density and gravity. The conservation of energy is suggested as a method for deriving the equation, referencing Bernoulli's principle for further insights. The conversation aims to clarify how these variables interact within fluid dynamics. Understanding this relationship is crucial for applications in engineering and physics.

Homework Statement
A horizontal pipe is filled with liquid. When the liquid is stationary, its head H metres depends on the pressure p of the liquid, its density ρ and gravitational acceleration g. Determine the nature of the relationship of these variables.
Relevant Equations
H = p/ρg

Where:
H = Head
p = Pressure
ρ = density
g = gravitational acceleration
I am trying to mathematically prove the Static Pressure Head equation:

H = p/ρg

How can I prove this equation and thus determine the nature of the relationship between these variables?

P (N/m2) and H (m) are equivalent magnitudes.
Rho and g make those two dimensionally compatible.
 
Greetings to all, I am writing with a question regarding graph generation in LTSpice. I am using LTSpice XVII and am trying to plot AM-AM and AM-PM characterization for a power amplifier, but I haven't been successful yet, likely due to my lack of practice with this specific analysis. I have been using a square wave input at 8.2 MHz as the voltage waveform for my power amplifier. It is said that for a switching amplifier like Class-D, the AM-AM / AM-PM (amplitude-to-amplitude and...
