Question

The pressure a liquids exerts against the sides and bottom of a container depends on the

• A. atmospheric pressure
• B. surface area
• C. volume of container
• D. density and depth of liquid

Answer 1

The correct option is D density and depth of liquid

$\because p=h\times d\times g$
where, p = pressure, h = depth (height), d = density, g = acceleration due to gravity = constant.

So, pressure depends on density and depth of liquid.
