Question

Arrange the liquids in the increasing order of pressure at the same depth from the surface.

• A. Seawater
• B. River water
• C. Oil
• D. Mercury

Answer 1

At a point inside the liquid, the pressure increases as the density of the liquid increases.
The increasing order of density of the liquids is :
Mercury > Seawater > River water > Oil
The same order will follow for pressure inside a liquid at the same depth as well.
