Which is true about the pressure of a fluid at a specific depth?
The pressure of a fluid generally increases with depth. This therefore means that at a specific depth the pressure of a fluid is constant.
How does a fluid exert pressure on objects submerged in the fluid?
Equally over the entire surface, neglecting any difference given by depth from top to bottom of the objectin fluid open to the surroundings.
Does depth affect water resistance?
Resistance of water is probably defined as pressure being applied by water on objects and as it's stated in fluid mechanics books pressure increases as height decreases or depth increases, so simply the answer is "yes".
Describe the reason a fluid exerts pressure on an object immersed in the fluid?
The pressure that a fluid exerts depends on the density and the depth of the fluid.
As someone goes dives deeper in a ocean they have more PSI acting upon them If this ocean was mercury would the same pressure be greater or less?
Pressure in a fluid at a certain depth H is proportional to the density of the fluid. Since Mercury has a much higher density then water it will exert a much larger pressure at the same depth.
Why does fluid Pressure change with the elevation and depth?
At a greater depth, the weight of all the liquid (or gas) above adds to the pressure.
Why does pressure of fluid vary with depth?
For a very basic explanation, pressure is the amount of force in any given area. Hydrostatic pressure, or fluid pressure, is the amount of force exuded at equilibrium due to gravity. So at any given point in a fluid, the pressure is equal to the weight of the fluid above it as well as the depth below it.
Why is the pressure at the bottom of an object in fluid greater than the pressure at the top of the object?
because of the height, as you go down further in depth the greater the pressure. imagine when you at a greater depth the greater amount of fluid you have to endure. the pressure would be the same everywhere at the same depth in fluid but the force on the object would depend on the area of the object.
Upon what factors does liquid pressure depend?
Atmospheric pressure Density of the liquid Gravitional field strength in the area the liquid is in The distance from the surface of the liquid i.e. depth Pressure in a liquid=Atmospheric pressure +(Depth X Gravity strength X Density) There might be more I don't know about
Can attitude and depth affect fluid pressure?
Yes!!! The altitude and depth cause the fuid to change.
How is fluid pressure distributed at a given level in fluid?
Fluid Pressure is evenly distributed at a given level in fluid. Your welcome
What is the relationship between liquid pressure and depth of a liquid?
As the depth of the fluid increases, the pressure increases. To explain this mathematicaly you consider the Sg of the fluid times the height of the column multiplied by gravity will give you the pressure at the base of the column
