define liquid pressure? give it's characteristics
Answers
Answer:
Definition of liquid pressure. The pressure of a liquid on the surface of its container or on the surface of any body in the liquid is equal to the weight of a column of the liquid whose height equals the depth of the liquid at that certain point.
Answer:
Liquid pressure is the increase in pressure at increasing depths in a liquid. This pressure increases because the liquid at lower depths has to support all of the water above it.
The characteristics of liquid pressure are:
1) Liquid pressure increases with depth.
2) Liquid pressure remains the same in all directions at a given
depth.
3) Liquid pressure depends upon the density of the liquid.
4) Liquid exerts pressure on the sides of the container.
5) A liquid seeks its own level.
