Question

Write the three factors on which the pressure exerted by a liquid depends.

Answer 1

1. We know that, $Pressure,P=h\rho g$., where $h$is the depth, $\rho$is the density of the liquid and $g$is the acceleration due to gravity.
2. Hence, it depends on the following factors.
   1. Depth from the surface of the liquid, h - As the depth increases, the pressure also increases.
   2. Density of the liquid, $\rho$ - Liquids with higher density will exert a higher pressure.
   3. Acceleration due to gravity, g - Places with higher acceleration due to gravity will experience a higher pressure.
