Pascal's law out of statistical physics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the challenge of deriving Pascal's law, expressed as Δp = ρg(Δh), outside the realm of statistical physics using a partition function. The original poster expresses difficulty in achieving this derivation and seeks assistance from the community. No solutions or methods have been provided in the discussion, indicating a gap in knowledge or resources regarding this specific application of statistical mechanics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Pascal's law and its mathematical formulation

Hi

I wanted to get Pascal's law \Delta p= \rho g ( \Delta h) out of the context of statistical physics by the use of a partition function. I failed.

Do you know how to solve this problem?

Greetings
