He was also one of the first to apply mathematics to physical phenomena, founding hydrostatics and statics, including an explanation of the principle of the lever.
Archimedes discovered the principles of mechanics and hydrostatics.
Sonics differs from hydrostatics, being based on waves, rather than pressure, in the liquid.
Hydrostatic waves get their name from the fact that they approximately obey the laws of hydrostatics, i.e. pressure amplitudes vary primarily in the vertical direction instead of the horizontal.
His syllabus included, among other topics, lectures and demonstrations on hydraulics, mechanics, hydrostatics, pneumatics, and geography.
Hydrostatics is fundamental to hydraulics, the engineering of equipment for storing, transporting and using fluids.
The courses of the school classes were in various fields of advanced mathematics, bookkeeping, surveying, mechanics, hydrostatics, pneumatics, chemistry, natural philosophy, and natural history.
He lectured on mechanics, hydrostatics, astronomy, optics, electricity and magnetism.
