Pressure in Liquid

Pressure in Liquids

  1. Pressure in liquid is owing to the weight of the liquid acting on the surface of any objects in the liquid.
  2. Pressure of a liquid is directly proportional to
    1. the gravitational field strength
    2. the depth
    3. density of the liquid.
  3. Pressure in liquids is not affected by the size or shape of the object.
  4. The pressure caused by a liquid and the pressure in a liquid can be determined by using the equation below:
