Pressure exerted by a liquid_________with the increase in depth.

• A. remains the same
• B. remains independent

• D. decreases

Answer 1

The correct option is C increases

In fact, the pressure exerted by a liquid is independent of the area of cross-section.

The more the depth more is the pressure exerted. The pressure exerted increases with increase in depth.
Also the liquid exert equal pressure in all direction at a given depth.
