Hydrostatic equilibrium is a condition that, if held, guarantees that pressure is sufficient to counteract the force by gravity

Non Differential Solution[]
Note that
Pressure as a Function of Depth[]
Assuming that density is constant
Archimedes Principle[]
This principle states that the mass of water displaced is equal to the mass of the floating object. Assuming that the density of water is constant with respect to depth:
Using Archimedes Principle to Find Submerged Height[]
Suppose we want to find how far a block of wood with density is submerged in water with density .
