consider an enclosed container with liquid filled to the brim, the pressure at any point in the container due to the liquid is given by this formula Pressure = height x density x acceleration due to gravity, and the height we are using here is not the height of this point above the ground, but instead it is the height difference (or simply length) between this point and the top of container, as we are measuring the pressure at this point due to the liquid above. similarly, you can consider a container that is not enclosed but you must remember to include the atmostpheric pressure into the total pressure at the particular point you are measuring. hope this helps =)

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.


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


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.


Relationship between liquid pressure and depth?

The pressure in a liquid increases with depth due to the weight of the liquid above pushing down. This is known as hydrostatic pressure and is given by the equation P = ρgh, where P is the pressure, ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth of the liquid.


How is pressure in the liquid related to depth?

Pressure in a liquid is directly proportional to the depth of the liquid. As depth increases, the weight of the liquid above exerts more force downwards, increasing the pressure at that depth. This relationship is described by the equation P = ρgh, where P is the pressure, ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth.

What is the difference between liquid pressure and depth?

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

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 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.


What factors do liquid pressure does ot depend on?

For liquids in containers (liquids in static conditions), the pressure in the liquid will depend on the pressure at liquid-vapor interface, the density of the liquid and the depth measured from the liq-vap interface down. As an example let's assume we want to know the hydrostatic pressure in the ocean at a depth of 150 m. We will assume: An atmospheric (barometric) pressure of Po = 100 kPa (kilpascal). Density of sea water of ρw = 1.03 x 103 kg/m3 Depth Δh = 150 m Gravity acceleration g = 9.81 m/s2 Hydrostatic increment of pressure owed to depth Δh relation: ΔP = ρgΔh Total pressure PT at a depth of Δh: PT = Po + ρwgΔh = 100 x 103 Pa + !.03 x 103 kg/m3 ( 9.81 m/s2 )(150 m) ≈ 1 620 x 103 Pa ≈ 1 620 x 103 Pa [ 1 atm/101 325 Pa] ≈ 16.0 atm The pressure increment we experiment at a depth of 150 m in the ocean is about 15 atmospheres (ΔP = ρgΔh).


Name two factors which determine the pressure in a liquid?

The depth of the liquid and the density of the liquid are two factors that determine the pressure in a liquid. The pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the liquid above resulting in greater pressure. Additionally, denser liquids exert more pressure compared to less dense liquids at the same depth.


Factors of liquid pressure depend?

three factors are 1) volume 2) temperature 3) upon the depth of the fluid
