Question

What is the relation between pressure exerted by liquids and its depth?

Open in App

Solution

The pressure exerted by the liquid increases as depth increases

Hydrostatic pressure at any height below the liquid surface is calculated by $P = h d g$
Here,
h= height below to liquid surface
g=9.8(acceleration due to gravity)
d=density of liquid
