    This document discusses fluid statics and the assumptions needed for the total derivative to be used instead of the partial derivative when calculating pressure P. The assumptions are: (1) the fluid is static, (2) gravity is the only body force acting on the fluid, and (3) the z-axis is vertical and upward. Under these assumptions, the pressure P depends only on the height z rather than other variables, allowing the total derivative to replace the partial derivative.
