so one can write the body force density as:

:

Then the body force density has a simple scalar potential:

:

And the pressure difference follows another time the Stevin's law:

:

The reference point should lie at or below the surface of the liquid. Otherwise, one has to split the integral into two (or more) terms with the constant and . For example, the absolute pressure compared to vacuum is

:

where
