hydrostatic equilibrium

However, there is no one point at which an object can be said to have reached hydrostatic equilibrium.

This causes the water level in a well to rise to a point where hydrostatic equilibrium has been reached.

For the far right definition, we have used Hydrostatic equilibrium approximation.

More specifically, its own gravity should pull it into a shape of hydrostatic equilibrium.

The first equation represents hydrostatic equilibrium and the second mass conservation.

These objects hypothetically lie above the boundary for hydrostatic equilibrium.

The state of balance is called hydrostatic equilibrium.

Consider a column of water in hydrostatic equilibrium.

However, precise regulations as to how hydrostatic equilibrium would be measured were left undefined for the time being.

If there is no shear, the fluid is in hydrostatic equilibrium.

Both models treat the white dwarf as a cold Fermi gas in hydrostatic equilibrium.

The Henyey track is characterized by a slow collapse in near hydrostatic equilibrium.

The mass of Ceres is sufficient to give it a nearly spherical shape in hydrostatic equilibrium.

Thus the star forms a self-regulating system in hydrostatic equilibrium that is stable over the course of its main sequence lifetime.

By the ideal gas law this increase in temperature also increases the pressure and restores the balance of hydrostatic equilibrium.

The model formulae are based upon the physical understanding of the star, usually under the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium.

This bulge is due to its rotation and is nearly consistent with an Earth in hydrostatic equilibrium.

Icy objects, though, can achieve hydrostatic equilibrium at a smaller size than rocky objects.

The nineteen bodies massive enough to have achieved hydrostatic equilibrium are in bold in the table below.

The triaxial shape of Rhea is consistent with a homogeneous body in hydrostatic equilibrium.

These stars are characterized by being in hydrostatic equilibrium and undergoing nuclear fusion of hydrogen-1 in their core region.

To qualify as a dwarf planet, Sedna must be shown to be in hydrostatic equilibrium.

The interior of a stable star is in a state of hydrostatic equilibrium: the forces on any small volume almost exactly counterbalance each other.

Since, over long periods, rocks readily deform under pressure, the Earth is in hydrostatic equilibrium to a good approximation.

Since this gas is in approximate hydrostatic equilibrium with the overall cluster gravitational field, the total mass distribution can be determined.
