Question

Explain the properties of fluid pressure?

Answer 1

Properties of fluid pressure:

1. The pressure in a liquid does not depend on the shape or size of the container.
2. The pressure in a liquid acts in all directions.
3. Pressure exerted increases with the depth of liquid.
4. Pressure at all points at equal depth is equal.
5. The static pressure acts at right angles to any surface in contact with the fluid.
6. Pressure at a point for a static fluid would be the same across all planes passing through that point in that fluid.
