Fluid Statics: Pressure and Hydraulic Machines

This lecture covers the definition of pressure, fluid statics, hydraulic machines, the hydrostatic equation, atmospheric pressure, pressure measurements, and pressure forces on flat surfaces. It explains the interaction of fluids with surfaces, Pascal's law, and the hydrostatic equation for bodies of fluid. The lecture also delves into pressure variations in the atmosphere, pressure measurement techniques like barometers, manometers, and pressure transducers, as well as the calculation of resultant pressure forces on flat surfaces.
