bearing capacity is the capacity of soil or strata that can be able to sustain the load of superstructure in the unit of load per m2 either ton/m2 or KN/m2

bearing pressure is nothing but bearing capacity example when you apply 100 KN on a unit area, equal opposite pressure will rise from the soil.

load / area = bearing capacity

Difference between hydrostatic bearing and hydrodynamic bearing?

Hydrostatic 1)For pressurized supply of fluid an external pressure supply is used 2) speed is less 3)Design of bearing house is complicated 4)Initial cost is high 5) Load carrying capacity is high 6) It can be used as air bearings. hydrodynamic 1) Pressure for fluid supply is produced by relative moving motion of the parts 2) The cost is less 3)Design of bearing house is less complicated 4) speed is high 5) Load carrying capacity is less 6) Cannot be used as air bearings.
