Question

The pressure at any point in the liquid is proportional to

• A. The density of liquid
• B. The depth of point below the surface
• C. The acceleration due to gravity
• D. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All the above

Pressure at a point inside the liquid is

$P=h\rho g$

where,

h is the depth inside the liquid,

$\rho$ is the density of liquid and

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

According to this the pressure at a point inside the liquid is proportional to h $\rho$ and g.

Hence, option D is correct answer.
