An elementary treatise on mechanics, embracing the theory of statics and dynamics, and its applications to solids and fluids (1849)
Smith, Augustus William, 1802-1866 · New York, Harper · leaf 277
k referred tothe rectangular axes AY andAX, and hk=h the verticaldistance of the element be-low the surface of the fluid.Then the normal pressure p on k will be p=gphk. The pressure on each element will be of the same form, andtheir sum or resultant R will be R=2.p.
