The pressure exerted by a liquid is the same in all directions at the same depth

The pressure exerted by a liquid increases with increase in depth.

The pressure exerted by a liquid is perpendicular to the surface of the container.

The pressure exerted by a liquid is independent of the size or shape of the container.

For pressure in a static liquid:

p = (rho) * g * z,

where rho is the density of the fluid (=1000kg/m^3 for water), g is the gravitational constant (9.81m/s^2), and z is the height of fluid.

Example. I have a swimming pool, 2 meters of heigth, filled with water. The static pressure at the buttom is then 1000 * 9.81 * 2 = 19.62 kPa

How do you calculate suction pressure for air theoretically?

Air has a pressure, but not a suction pressure. Air pressure is measured with a barometer, you do not calculate it. Suction pressure is a concept which applies to a pump. Suction pressure = static pressure + surface pressure - vapour pressure - friction pressure.

What is the relation between pressure in atmosphere and pressure?

Atmospheric pressure is the surrounding pressure around us. We live in the atmosphere and treat the atmospheric pressure as the base pressure. A pressure gauge would read 0 at atmospheric pressure. When we define the pressure in scientific way of absolute pressure, we need to add up an atmospheric pressure to the measured pressure.
