Pressure in Fluids at Rest

Underwater photography of a swimmer leads to a discussion of the relationship of pressure in a fluid to depth and density and shows that pressure acts in all directions, explaining buoyancy and Archimedes' principle. Aerial photography of divers illustrates the freedom of motion of a body in a fluid. Pascal's law as applied to closed systems is presented in terms of both transmission of forces and multiplication of forces.
