two facts about pressure exerted by liquids
Answers
Explanation:
1. When pressure is exerted on one part of Liquid enclosed in a container , pressure is exerted equay in all directions.
2. The liquid pressure increase with the increase in depth i.e. pressure becomes higher as deeper we go.
one bonus also
3. The liquid pressure depends upon the density of liquid i.e. if the density of liquid is more it will exert more preasure
for eg - density of mercury is 13.6gm/c3 and density of water is 1gm/c3 therefore mercury will exert more pressure than water .
Answer:
The pressure exerted by a liquid is small just under the surface of 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.
