matheniiitical theory of Hydrostatics is foundedon two laws, which we shall now exi»lain. i —i ON FLUID PRESSURE. 16. LaW 1. The force exerted by ajluid on any surface^icith ichich it is in contact, is jyerpendicidar to that surface. 17. This law is merely a reiJetition of the definition of afluid… … axis of the cylinder, and the pressures of the fluid on the fatends are all parallel to the axis.- Now it is a law of Statics that a fdrce has no tendency toproduce motion in a direction perpendicular to its own direction. Hence the pressures on the curved surface have no tend-ency to produce…
