Hydrostatic paradox
The hydrostatic paradox has important applications in engineering, particularly in hydraulic systems. According to Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications (Print) by Yunus A. Cengel and John M. Cimbala, hydraulic systems use fluids to transmit power from one location to another. The pressure generated by a hydraulic system is determined by the depth of the fluid and is independent of the shape of the container or the location of the point within it.
