| In [[continuum mechanics]], a '''hydrostatic stress''' is an [[isotropic]] [[Stress (mechanics)|stress]] that is given by the weight of water above a certain point. It is often used interchangeably with "[[pressure]]" and is also known as confining stress, particularly in the field geomechanics. Its magnitude <math>\sigma_h</math> can be given by:

| :<math>\sigma_h = \displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n \rho_i g h_i</math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>i</math> is an index denoting each distinct layer of material above the point of interest, <math>\rho_i</math> is the [[density]] of each layer, <math>g</math> is the [[gravitational acceleration]] (assumed constant here; this can be substituted with any [[acceleration]] that is important in defining [[weight]]), and <math>h_i</math> is the height (or thickness) of each given layer of material. For example, the magnitude of the hydrostatic stress felt at a point under ten meters of fresh water would be

| :<math>\sigma_{h,sand} = \rho_w g h_w = 1000 \,\text{kg/m}^3 \cdot 9.8 \,\text{m/s}^2 \cdot 10 \,\text{m} = 9.8 \cdot {10^4} {kg/ms^2} = 9.8 \cdot 10^4 {N/m^2} </math> | |

| where the index <math>w</math> indicates "water".
| |
| | |
| Because the hydrostatic stress is isotropic, it acts equally in all directions. In [[tensor]] form, the hydrostatic stress is equal to

Hi there. Allow me begin by introducing the author, her title is Sophia. Distributing production has been his profession for some time. Alaska is exactly where he's always been living. To perform domino is some thing I truly appreciate performing.
