The law of hydrostatics is the study of how fluids act when at rest. How the fluid is at rest and how it is in motion are studied and compared often.
Probably because he was a smart guy.

Archimedes of Syracuse is credited with developing the concept of floating bodies and principles of hydrostatics. He famously discovered the principle of buoyancy while taking a bath, leading to his famous exclamation "Eureka!" when he realized the relationship between an object's volume and the amount of water it displaces.

The study of liquids at rest called is known as hydrostatics. This a study of the mechanism of fluids which is a branch of physics.
Pascal's principle in hydrostatics states that pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions. This principle helps explain how fluids behave under pressure by showing that the pressure exerted on a fluid at one point is transmitted throughout the entire fluid, causing it to flow or change shape accordingly.
