Question

Describe an experiment to show that pressure is independent of the cross sectional area.

Answer 1

Answer:

The pressure is same at all points inside the liquid in presence of gravity, lying at the same horizontal plane. ... This shows that pressure exerted is independent of area of cross section A but depends on the height 'h' of the liquid column and densityof the liquid .

pls mark me brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

Pressure is independent of area. Pressure in a liquid column is transmitted equally in all directions.

Explanation:

P = F/A

But force = mg

P = mg/ A

but mass,m= density* V

V = AH

P = density * AHg/A

A divide and give 1

P = density * Hg

Hence presure is independent of area but dependant on density of the liquid, depth also known as height and acceleration due to gravity.
