A fluid is a state of matter that yields to sideways or shearing forces. Liquids and gases are both fluids. Fluid statics is the physics of stationary fluids.
Pressure is the weight of the fluid mg divided by the area A supporting it (the area of the bottom of the container): P=mgA. Pressure due to the weight of a liquid is given by ...Pressure is the weight of the fluid mg divided by the area A supporting it (the area of the bottom of the container): P=mgA. Pressure due to the weight of a liquid is given by P=hρg, where P is the pressure, h is the height of the liquid, ρ is the density of the liquid, and g is the acceleration due to the gravity.

One mistake you see in solutions to submerged-object static fluid problems, is the inclusion, in the free body diagram for the problem, in addition to the buoyant force
