Question

3. How does pressure due to a liquid held in a container vary with,
(a) depth
(b) amount
(c) shape and size of the container ?
​

Answer 1

According to Laws of Liquid Pressure : Pressure at a point inside the liquid increases with the depth. The pressure due to liquid at a given depth of the container does not depend upon amount of liquid and shape or Size of the container.

Answer 2

Answer:

Depth : according to laws of liquid pressure of a liquid depends according to

P = hdg

where,

p= pressure of the liquid

h =depth of the liquid in the container

d =density of the liquid

g =acceleration due to gravity.

so,

the pressure of liquid increases with the increase in depth and vice - versa.

the pressure of a liquid does not depend on the amount of liquid or shape in which it's kept
