Solution

The correct option is A True

Pressure and density.

  1. Pressure- The force applied perpendicular to an object's surface per unit area is known as pressure.
  2. Density- A substance's density is defined as its mass per unit volume.

The hydrostatic pressure equation calculates the pressure exerted by a column of liquid.

Pressure=ρgh

Where,

ρ is the density.

h is the height.

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

So according to this equation pressure is directly proportional to the density of the liquid.

Hence, the given statement is True.
