Imagine a glass tube with equal cross-section of 1 square cm and of length 100 cm. Fill the tube with the liquid of density 'd' to the 75cm mark.

The pressure at the bottom of each tube is the force exerted per unit area by the column of liquid in the tube. We have conveniently selected tubes with 1 sq cm (unit area in CGS system) cross sectional areas. So the weight of the column in the tube would be the pressure. Hence the pressure in the tube would be

1) Weight of the 75cm liquid column = 75 x d x g = 75dg dynes

The presuure depends on the density in a linear proportion.

How does the pressure exerted by a liquid vary with direction and depth?

The pressure exerted by a liquid increases with depth. This is known as hydrostatic pressure and is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. The pressure variation with direction is isotropic, meaning it is the same regardless of the direction taken in the liquid.


What is the relationship between liquid pressure and the depth of a liquid between liquid pressure and density?

pressure of liquid on bottom=density*gravitational force*depth :)


Pressure on the surface of liquid depends on?

The pressure on the surface of a liquid depends on the depth of the liquid and the density of the liquid. The pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the liquid above and also depends on the density of the liquid.


What are the factors on which liquid pressure depends?

Liquid pressure depends on the depth of the liquid, the density of the liquid, and the gravitational acceleration acting on the liquid. The pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the liquid above and is directly proportional to the density of the liquid.


Relationship between liquid pressure and density?

If you were submerged in a liquid more dense than water, the pressure would be correspondingly greater. The pressure due to a liquid is precisely equal to the product of weight density and depth. liquid pressure = weight density x depth. also the pressure a liquid exerts against the sides and bottom of a container depends on the density and the depth of the liquid.


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

The pressure at the bottom of a barrel filled with liquid does NOT depend on the?

The pressure at the bottom of a barrel filled with liquid does not depend on the shape or size of the barrel. It depends only on the depth of the liquid and the density of the liquid.


How does the pressure exerted by a liquid change as density of the liquid changes?

The pressure exerted by a liquid increases with the density of the liquid. This is because the weight of the liquid above a certain point increases with higher density, leading to a greater force per unit area or pressure at that point.


What is the difference between liquid pressure and depth?

Liquid pressure depends on depth. It can be calculated from liquid density times depth.


Does the pressure on the bottom of a tank of fluid varies directly with the density of the liquid in the tank?

No, the pressure at the bottom of a tank of fluid is directly proportional to the height of the fluid above that point and the density of the liquid, according to the hydrostatic pressure formula. It is not directly proportional to the density of the liquid alone.


What does not effect the pressure at a point beneath the surface of a liquid?

The shape of the container, the size of the container, and the density of the liquid do not affect the pressure at a point beneath the surface of a liquid. The pressure at a point in a liquid is only dependent on the depth of the point and the density of the liquid above it.
