Hydrostatic pressure at depth h beyond liquid surface is given by the formula: p = p0 + dgh where p0; = atmospheric pressure at liquid surface usually 1 ATM or 101325 Pa (1Pa = kg/ms²) d = liquid density (water is 1.00 g/ml) g = gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s^2 on Earth)

Describe the reason a fluid exerts pressure on an object immersed in the fluid?
The pressure that a fluid exerts depends on the density and the depth of the fluid.
Why does pressure of fluid vary with depth?
For a very basic explanation, pressure is the amount of force in any given area. Hydrostatic pressure, or fluid pressure, is the amount of force exuded at equilibrium due to gravity. So at any given point in a fluid, the pressure is equal to the weight of the fluid above it as well as the depth below it.
Why is the pressure at the bottom of an object in fluid greater than the pressure at the top of the object?
because of the height, as you go down further in depth the greater the pressure. imagine when you at a greater depth the greater amount of fluid you have to endure. the pressure would be the same everywhere at the same depth in fluid but the force on the object would depend on the area of the object.
Can attitude and depth affect fluid pressure?
Yes!!! The altitude and depth cause the fuid to change.
How is fluid pressure distributed at a given level in fluid?
Fluid Pressure is evenly distributed at a given level in fluid. Your welcome
Which is true about the pressure of a fluid at a specific depth?
The pressure of a fluid generally increases with depth. This therefore means that at a specific depth the pressure of a fluid is constant.
What is true about the pressure of a fluid at the specific depth?
The pressure will get stronger the further down you go. This is why it is necessary to wear special gear when you go deep into the ocean.
Describe the reason a fluid exerts pressure on an object immersed in the fluid?
The pressure that a fluid exerts depends on the density and the depth of the fluid.
Why does fluid Pressure change with the elevation and depth?
At a greater depth, the weight of all the liquid (or gas) above adds to the pressure.

What is the relationship between liquid pressure and depth of a liquid?
As the depth of the fluid increases, the pressure increases. To explain this mathematicaly you consider the Sg of the fluid times the height of the column multiplied by gravity will give you the pressure at the base of the column
What causes pressure in fluid's?
All of the forces exerted by the individual molecules in a fluid add together to make up the pressure exerted by the fluid
How does height affect fluid pressure?
As the depth of a fluid column increases, the pressure at the bottom increases due to the weight of the additional material above.j3h.
Explain why fluid pressure varies with depth in a liquid and a gas?
Because the mass of the fluid column increase.
