List factors on which liquid pressure depends

Liquid pressure depends on the following factors:

• The depth(h)


As the depth of the point inside the liquid increases the liquid pressure on that point also increases



• Density of the liquid(ρ)


As the density of liquid increases, liquid pressure on that also increases



• Acceleration due to gravity(g)


As the of acceleration due to gravity liquid increases, liquid pressure on that also increases



Liquid pressure is given by the expression



Where,


h = Depth of the point where pressure is to be measured


ρ = Density of the liquid


g = acceleration due to gravity
