difference between solid pressure and liquid pressure
Answers
Answer:
A solids exert pressure only on its base downwards while a fluid exerts pressure at all points in every direction. ... A liquid exerts pressure only on its base downwards while a solid exerts pressure at all points in every direction. C. Both exerts pressure on its base downward.
Solid Pressure
Pressure is the force per unit area. This means that the pressure a solid object exerts on another solid surface is its weight in newtons divided by its area in square metres.
Liquid Pressure
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. We calculate liquid pressure using the equation liquid pressure = mass x acceleration due to g density x depth in fluid.
