Method: Joules.hydrostatic_pressure

Defined in:: lib/joules/pressure.rb

.hydrostatic_pressure(density, height) ⇒ `Float`

Calculates the hydrostatic pressure given density and height.

Examples:

Joules.hydrostatic_pressure(1000, 5) #=> 49050.0

Parameters:

density (Int, Float) —

density >= 0; density is in kilograms per metre cubed
height (Int, Float) —

height >= 0; height is in metres

Returns:

(Float) —

return value >= 0; return value is in pascals
