1. The liquid pressure is inversely proportional to the density of liquid.
2. The pressure exerted on the liquid doesn't depend upon the shape or size of the container.
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?

• A. Only 1
• B. Only 2
• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

1. Liquid pressure is directly proportional to its density.

2. Pressure at a point depends only on density and vertical depth from the free surface. It is independent of shape and size of the container.

Only 2 is correct.
