Answer:
1. Hydrostatic pressure.
2. Pressure.
3. Equilibrium forces.
Explanation:
1. <u>Hydrostatic pressure</u>: pressure exerted by a stationary liquid. It is simply the pressure in a liquid such as water at a specific depth.
Mathematically, hydrostatic pressure is given by the formula;
Where:
- H.P is the hydrostatic pressure of a liquid.
- rho represents the density of a liquid.
- g is the acceleration due to gravity.
- d is the depth (height) of a liquid.
2. <u>Pressure</u>: it is the force in a direction perpendicular to a given surface area. Thus, it's typically measured in Newton per meters (N/m²).
Mathematically, pressure is given by the formula;
3. <u>Equilibrium forces</u>: a pair of forces whose resultant is zero. It is also referred to as balanced forces because the resultant of all the pair of forces acting on a body or system is at equilibrium (balanced).
