"hydrostatic pressure"relating to fluids at rest or to the pressures they exert or transmitOpposite:
Definition that contains hydrostatic
- archimedes Greek mathematician and physicist noted for his work in hydrostatics and mechanics and geometry (287-212 BC)
- artesian (of water) rising to the surface under internal hydrostatic pressure
- principle of liquid displacement (hydrostatics) the volume of a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the volume of the displaced fluid
- archimedes' principle (hydrostatics) the apparent loss in weight of a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid
- reverse osmosis (chemistry) a method of producing pure water; a solvent passes through a semipermeable membrane in a direction opposite to that for natural osmosis when it is subjected to a hydrostatic pressure greater than the osmotic pressure
- law of archimedes (hydrostatics) the apparent loss in weight of a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid
