Other units include bar, atm, kgf/cm2, lbf/in2=psi.
For example, a 70 kg person with a total foot imprint area of
0.03 m2
exerts a pressure of (70x9.807/0.03x1000)kPa =22.9kPa.

Fluid Statics
Fluid Statics In fluid statics, there is no relative motion between adjacent
fluid layers.
Therefore, there is no shear stress in the fluid trying to
deform it.
The only stress in fluid statics is normal stress
