Hydrostatic paradox
The hydrostatic paradox is a phenomenon in fluid mechanics where the pressure at a point in a static fluid is independent of the shape of the container but only depends on the depth of the point below the surface of the fluid. This means that the pressure at a given depth is equal in all directions, regardless of the shape of the container or the location of the point within it. The hydrostatic paradox is a fundamental principle in fluid mechanics and has important applications in engineering and physics.
