Q4 of 6 Page 143

How does pressure due to liquid held in a container vary with-

a) Depth?


b) Amount?


c) Shape size of container?

Pressure due to liquid held in a container vary with


Depth: According to laws of liquid pressure of a liquid depends according to


P= hdg


Where,


P= pressure of the liquid


h= depth of the liquid in the container


d= density of the liquid


g= acceleration due to gravity.


So,


The pressure of a liquid increases with the increase in depth and vice-versa.


The pressure of a liquid does not depend on the amount of liquid or the shape in which it's kept.
