This lecture covers the concept of pressure in fluids, including the force exerted by a fluid on a surface, the relationship between pressure and surface area, and the hydrostatic pressure in incompressible fluids. It also discusses the hydrostatic paradox, where the pressure at rest depends only on the depth and not the shape of the fluid container. The application of atmospheric pressure measurement using the mercury barometer is also explained.
