Question

Pressure at a point inside a liquid does not depend on ___.

• A. the depth of the point below the surface of the liquid
• B. the volume of the liquid
• C. the nature of the liquid
• D. value of g

Answer 1

The correct option is B the volume of the liquid

A liquid exerts pressure in all directions at any given depth.
Pressure at a point inside a liquid: $P=P_0+\rho gh$
Where $P_0$ is atmospheric pressure, $\rho$ is density of liquid, $g$ is gravity acceleration and $h$ depth of any point inside the water.
According to the formula, we can say that value of pressure at a point inside a liquid varies with $P_0$, $\rho$, $g$ & $h$.
Hence pressure depends on all other parameters except volume.
