Hydrostatic Pressure and its Effects: A Visual Explanation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding hydrostatic pressure and its effects, particularly in relation to a rigid structure resisting water pressure. Participants express confusion over the original poster's visual representation and equations, seeking clarification on the meaning of "I" and the equations presented. There is a request for a more detailed explanation of the problem and the equations, as the current visual aids are insufficient for comprehension. The need for clearer communication and elaboration on the concepts is emphasized. Overall, the thread highlights the challenges in conveying complex scientific concepts through images alone.

What is I? Is it the MOI? I'm having a hard time understanding your post.

Can you please describe the problem a bit more. I get that there is a rigid structure that is holding off the water pressure via the weight, but I'm not understanding your equations on your whiteboard so far. Can you type them into the forum window and describe them please? Thanks.
