Fluid Dynamics: Proof of the Static Pressure Head equation

  • #1
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.
