  4. Pressure in Liquid

Liquid Pressure

2.1  Liquid Pressure
 
  Liquid Pressure  
 

 \(P=h \rho g\), where P = pressure, h = depth of the liquid, \(\rho\) = density, g = gravitational acceleration

  
     
 

Characteristics of pressure in liquid
 
  1. Increases with depth

    •  
  2. Does not depend on the shape of the container



    •  
  3. Acting in all directions (Pascal)



    •  
  4. Same level (height), same pressure
