Hydrostatic pressure derivation
could you care to explain why the hydrostatic pressure section in your derivation makes sense? could you explain the variables? --MaoGo (talk) 13:02, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

the definition of pressure is force/area force=mass*gravity, ie the specific weight. area of a circle is pi r^2. mass is equal to area*height of tube*density therefore it will cancel down to h density g. It is a much more in depth definitiojn of hydrostatic pressure. § — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomas Surrey Physics (talk • contribs)


 * thanks for the ping. Also, this is how you sign comments: Tips/How to sign comments. I do not think that explanation is better than reminding the reader what vertical pressure variation is with the wikilinks provided, also you don't have to eliminate everything to add your content. I have already added your extra content to the page like the expression of the capillarity length.--MaoGo (talk) 13:41, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

@MaoGo, I have not eliminated everything. The introduction and the rest of the page is good and diagrams good. The previous derivation is poor due to the notation.Thomas Surrey Physics (talk) 17:03, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * What is the problem with the notation? --MaoGo (talk) 17:27, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I updated the article, the $$\rm g$$ was truly a bad idea. --MaoGo (talk) 17:35, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
