Question

Which of the statement are true?

1) pressure exerted by the liquid depends upon depth of the liquid

2) pressure exerted by the liquid depends upon acceleration due to gravity

Answer 1

Both statement are true

The pressure exerted by the liquid depends only upon the depth of the liquid, the density of the liquid, and the acceleration of gravity.


Pressure exerted by liquid = ρgh

ρ = m/V = liquid density

g = acceleration of gravity

h = depth of liquid
