A piece of the iron nail when kept horizontally on the surface of the sand rests on it. Why does it dig into the sand when kept vertically?
Due to more pressure, nail digs a hole
Due to less pressure, nail digs a hole
Due to gravity, nail digs a hole
Can't be said
P1>P2
P1=P2
P1−P2=hρg
P2−P1=hρg
Formula for pressure in liquids is
p = hPg, where h is height, P is density and g is gravity
p = Pg/h, where P is density, g is gravity and is height
p = hP/g, where h is height, P is density and g is gravity
p = hg/P, where h is height, g is gravity and P is density
Pressure increases with altitude.
True
False
