?How does hydrostatic equilibrium explain the stability of a submerged object in a fluid

Hydrostatic equilibrium ensures that the pressure at any depth in the fluid is balanced, preventing the object from sinking or rising.

?What role does hydrostatic equilibrium play in understanding the structure and stability of stars

Hydrostatic equilibrium is crucial in stellar physics as it balances gravitational forces with pressure forces, allowing stars to maintain their size and stability over their lifetimes.
