What is the relation between liquid pressure and depth?

Open in App

Solution

Liquid pressure in a liquid increases with increase in depth and decreases with decrease in depth,i.e,it is directly proportional.However,liquid pressure is same at a particular depth in all directions
P = ρgh
P - Pressure,
ρ- density
g - acceleration due to gravity
h - height or depth
