SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of Bernoulli's equation in fluid dynamics, specifically regarding static fluid scenarios. It is established that Bernoulli's equation is not necessary for static cases, as pressure in a fluid at rest is determined solely by the hydrostatic principle, which states that pressure increases with depth. The participants confirm that in static conditions, pressure is uniform at any given depth, negating the need for Bernoulli's equation. This understanding is crucial for solving related fluid dynamics problems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Bernoulli's equation

The Attempt at a Solution


I'm not sure if this situation fullfills the requirements of Bernoulli's equation but if it does than the pressure should be the same at each point? If it does not satisfy Bernoulli how would I solve?

There's no need for Bernoulli, since this is a static case. (But Bernoulli does cover static cases.) All you need is the basic hydrostatic principle that pressure depends only upon depth below the surface.
 
ok thank you
