- The formula P = P₀ + ρgh quantifies hydrostatic pressure variation with depth. - Pascal's contributions were foundational to understanding fluid pressure at rest and its transmission.
The pressure of a fluid varies with depth h as P = P₀ + pgh, where ρ is the fluid density. This expression is associated with
