According to the formulae the Acceleration due to gravity increases overall as we go deep into the Earth since the mass above is being pulled in the opposite direction. However it also increases a little due to the presence of denser material in mantle.

What is the relationship between liquid depth and pressure?

the pressure of liquid is HDG where H=depth D=density g= acceleration due to gravity thus depth= pressure/density*acceleration due to gravity


What depth from surface of earth is value of acceleration due to gravity one fourth the value at the earth surface?

The force of gravity is proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. As a result, a gravity of one fourth that on the surface of the Earth would be observable at an altitude equal to the radius of the Earth, i.e. 6400 km. Note: This is up, in the air, not down, into the Earth. This distance is in outer space.In the other direction, the force of gravity gets smaller as one goes deeper into the earth. This is because the mass outside your current radius (as you descend) does not contribute. The mass inside your current radius is proportional to the cube of the radius. Gravity is proportional to this mass divided by the square of the radius. Therefore, gravity decreases linearly with the radius. So the acceleration of gravity is equal to one fourth its value at the earth's surface at one fourth of the earth's radius, or a depth of approximately 4800 km.


How do you calculate pressure underwater and what factors affect it?

Pressure underwater is calculated by multiplying the depth of the water by the density of the fluid and the acceleration due to gravity. The formula is pressure depth x density x gravity. Factors that affect pressure underwater include the depth of the water, the density of the fluid, and the acceleration due to gravity.


How much more gravity is there on Neptune than there is on Earth?

The 'surface' acceleration of gravity on Neptune is 11.15 m/s2 . That's about 14% greater than on the Earth's surface. If you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, then at the depth in Neptune's gaseous mantle where the pressure is equal to Earth's sea-level atmospheric pressure, you'd weigh about 228 pounds.


What two things increase with depth beneath the surface of earth?

Pressure and temperature increase with depth beneath the surface of the Earth.


What is The increase in temperature with the depth in the earth called?

The increase in temperature with depth in the Earth is called geothermal gradient. It is typically around 25-30 degrees Celsius per kilometer of depth.


What are the factors on which pressure exerted by liquids depends?

The pressure exerted by liquids depends on the depth of the liquid, the density of the liquid, and the acceleration due to gravity. The pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the liquid above, and it is also influenced by the density of the liquid.


What is the formula for calculating pressure at a certain depth in a fluid, where p represents the pressure, p0 is the pressure at the surface, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth of the fluid?

The formula for calculating pressure at a certain depth in a fluid is: p p0 (g h), where p represents the pressure, p0 is the pressure at the surface, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth of the fluid.


What is hydostatic pressure?

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium due to the force of gravity. It is determined by the density of the fluid, the acceleration due to gravity, and the depth of the fluid. The pressure increases with depth in a fluid column.


Which of the following increase with depth within Earth's interior?

Pressure and temperature increase with depth within Earth's interior, while density and seismic wave velocity also tend to increase.


How does pressure change as the depth below the surface of a fluid increase?

Pressure increases with depth below the surface of a fluid due to the weight of the fluid above pushing down. This relationship is described by the hydrostatic pressure formula P = ρgh, where P is pressure, ρ is density, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is depth.


What happens to the pressure of the earth as depth below the surface increases?

the pressure decreases the pressure increases
