hydrostatics: see mechanics mechanics, branch of physics concerned with motion and the forces that tend to cause it; it includes study of the mechanical properties of matter , such as density , elasticity , and viscosity . ..... Click the link for more information. . hydrostaticsBranch of physics that deals with the characteristics of fluids at rest, particularly with the pressure in a fluid or exerted by a fluid (gas or liquid) on an immersed body. In applications, the principles of hydrostatics are used for problems relating to pressure in deep water (pressure increases with depth) and high in the atmosphere (pressure lessens with altitude). |

| 6) Aquatic physical therapy incorporates individual assessment, evidence-based practice, and clinical reasoning skills to devise treatment plans based on the principles of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics and the physiologic effects of immersion. 52) Over the course of the 1840s, he lectured on current events, scientific and political topics, ancient and modern governments, "The Progression of Man" from his savage state to the present, and "The Life, Times, and Doings of Socrates"; he also published A Journey Up the Mississippi as well as popular science articles on hydrostatics and Archimedes and poetry. For example, he notes their common interest in exploring the relation between a mover and moved in both natural and violent motions and the application of a mechanical principle to the analysis of motion, although Galileo used Archimedes' hydrostatics rather than pseudo-Aristotelian circular motion. |
