Question

Goven example of pressure due to liquid

Answer 1

Example : A column of water that is 10 feet in height and 1 inch square weighs 4.3 pounds, the fluid pressure at a depth of 10 feet of water is 4.3 pounds square inch. ... Gases, liquids andfluids are all the fluids that have the ability to flow which exert buoyant forces that multiply forces.

Answer 2

Swimmers know that the deeper an object is submerged in a fluid, the greater the pressure on the object. Pressure is defined as the force per unit area over the surface of a body. Example : A column of water that is 10 feet in height and 1 inch square weighs 4.3 pounds, the fluid pressure at a depth of 10 feet of water is 4.3 pounds square inch. At 20 feet, this would increase to 8.6 pounds per square inch and pressure is proportional to the depth of the object in the fluid. 


We all know fluid flows easily. Gases, liquids and fluids are all the fluids that have the ability to flow which exert buoyant forces that multiply forces. It is all due to gravity, acceleration, or forces in the closed container. Generally fluids have not definite shape and the pressure would be over all directions.Lets see how pressure acts in the fluid in this page.
