In general, yes. For a simple situation of a constant gravitational force, the equation is P=rho*g*h. where rho = density, g = 9.8ms^-2, h corresponds to depth.

What happens when pressure in a fluid changes?

When pressure in a fluid changes, the volume and density of the fluid may also change. If the pressure increases, the volume decreases and the density increases, leading to compression of the fluid. Conversely, if the pressure decreases, the volume increases and the density decreases, causing expansion of the fluid.


How will the pressure of an object change if its area is doubled?

It won't. The pressure within a hollow object may change if the surface area changes, hence the volume. The total pressure acting on the exterior of a solid object may change if the total surface area changes.


What is an incompressible fluid and how does it differ from compressible fluids?

An incompressible fluid is a substance that does not change its volume when pressure is applied. This means that its density remains constant. In contrast, compressible fluids can change their volume when pressure is applied, leading to changes in density.


How does a pressure exerted by a liquid change with depth?

The pressure exerted by a liquid increases with depth. This increase is due to the weight of the liquid above pushing down, creating higher pressure at greater depths. The relationship between pressure and depth can be calculated using the formula P = rho * g * h, where P is the pressure, rho is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth.


Is temperature the only thing that affects density?

It is the easiest way to affect the volume which would change the density. However, if you increase the pressure but keep temperature constant the volume will also change. Any change in volume affects density.

How can you change the density?

Gases can change their volume and that causes the density to change. Liquids and solids are practically incompressible. Their volume change under pressure is such a small amount that their density changes very little if at all.

How does the change in the volume affect the density of solids liquids and gases?

the change in volume affects the density of solids, liquids , and gases by when the volume of a liquid , solid . or gas expands the density changes.

Does the Viscosity changes with the temp and pressure?

The viscosity of a substance will change with both temperature and pressure. For liquids the changes induced by a change in temperature are usually more readily observed than the changes from pressure because liquids are only slightly compressible with pressure. In gasses, the changes in viscosity with pressure are much more easily demonstrated because gases are, almost by definition, quite compressible so that the density can be easily changed by either changes in pressure or changes in temperature.


What is the instrument used to detect a change in atmosphere pressure which usually signals a change in weather QUICK I NEED the answer sooon?

A barometer is used to detect changes in atmospheric pressure, which can signal a change in weather. It measures the pressure exerted by the atmosphere and can provide an indication of incoming weather systems.
