This document discusses concepts in fluid statics including: - Fluid statics deals with fluids at rest with no relative motion between layers. - In fluid statics, only normal stresses exist and shear stresses are zero. - Pascal's law states that pressure is transmitted undiminished in all directions in a confined fluid and pressure can be measured using various instruments like manometers. - The forces on surfaces immersed in fluids depend on factors like the fluid properties, depth, and orientation of the surface.
