Question

Explain the relationship between the depth in a fluid and the pressure at that depth.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The pressure exerted in the fluid at that depth is given by :

$P=\rho \times g\times h$..............(1)

Where

$\rho$ is the density of the fluid

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the depth of the fluid

It is clear from equation (1) that the pressure exerted in the fluid is directly proportional to the depth in a fluid. As the depth increases, the pressure will also increase.
