A denser liquid exerts ________ pressure.


Open in App
Solution

  1. Pressure= density× acceleration due to gravity × height.
    P=ρgh
    ρ=Density of liquid
    g=Acceleration due to gravity
    h=Height of liquid column
  2. The pressure exerted by a liquid is directly proportional to its density.
  3. Therefore, liquid pressure increases with an increase in the density of a liquid.

A denser liquid exerts more pressure.
