Extreme Physics...

Spatial Resolution: The ability to located an event in space
ex: This can be determined from "the spacing of the anode wires"
(translational motion)

Hydrostatic pressure is what is exerted by a liquid when it is at rest. The height of a liquid column of uniform density is directly proportional to the hydrostatic pressure.

PRESSURE IN A LIQUID IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE HEIGHT OF THE LIQUID ABOVE IT (p = density x g x h)








ex: Greater arterial pressure in leg than arm "because the column of blood between the arm and leg has a hydrostatic pressure"
