Hydrostatic Force in Fluid Force Formulas

Hydrostatic force is the force exerted by fluid at rest on a immersed or partially immersed object in the fluid or placed within it. It arises due the pressure distribution by the fluid on the object. And is denoted by F_h. Hydrostatic Force is usually measured using the Newton for Force. Note that the value of Hydrostatic Force is always positive.
