Question

Pressure of a liquid varies directly as the depth of the liquid, this statement is written as _________.

Answer 1

The pressure exerted by a liquid at a point depends on its vertical depth and density of the liquid only. It is independent of the shape of the container. The pressure at the bottom of the three vessels of different shapes containing the same liquid acts equally in all directions.

Thus, the pressure exerted by the liquid of height h is given as P=hdg, where h is the height, d is the density and g is the acceleration due to gravity..

Answer 2

Answer:

The pressure exerted by a liquid increases with increasing depth inside the liquid. ... But as we go we deeper in a liquid the pressure of liquid increases.As the depth of liquid increases the weight of liquid column pushing down from above increases and hence the pressure also increases.
