Yes, because the density of oil is less than water.

(The pressure would be less with oil.)

Where is fluid pressure the greatest?

Fluid pressure is the greatest at the deepest point. If the fluid is in different shaped vessels, the pressure is the greatest at the bottom of the vessel no matter what the shape.


Is there more pressure at the bottom of a bathtub of water 30cm deep or at a bottom of a pitcher of water 35cm deep?

The pressure at the bottom of the pitcher of water 35cm deep is higher than at the bottom of the bathtub of water 30cm deep. Pressure in a fluid increases with depth, so the deeper the water column, the greater the pressure at the bottom. This is due to the weight of the water above exerting a force on the bottom.


How is air pressure different from the top of the mountain vs the bottom of a mountain?

Air pressure decreases as altitude increases, so at the top of a mountain, the air pressure is lower compared to the bottom of the mountain. This is because there is less air above pushing down on the air below at higher altitudes.


What does the pressure at the bottom of a pond depend on?

The pressure at the bottom of a pond depends on the depth of the water above it and the density of the water. The pressure increases with depth because of the weight of the water column exerting force downward.


If a total force exerted by water in a container with a bottom area of 12 square meters is 450 newtons What is the water pressure at the bottom of the container?

The water pressure at the bottom of the container is calculated by dividing the total force by the area of the bottom surface. In this case, the water pressure at the bottom of the container would be 37.5 newtons per square meter (450 newtons ÷ 12 square meters).

How do you change a bottom control arm on a Chevrolet g20 van?

you will have to get it to a shop as they will have to compress the coil spring to take the pressure of it, then it is just a matter of one nut holding the wheel and two holding it at the bracket on the frame.

Why pressure difference in two gauges located in different heights?

In a pipe line or vessel if vertically placed and two pressure gauges mounted in top and bottom places of the pipe line and the internal pressure will very. Top mounted pressure gauge is lower than the bottom mounted pressure gauge. The Pressure will change due to the height variation's. The Internel fluid height acting additional pressure . so that the pressure difference in two gauges located in different heights.


Does mercury have a MeniscusWhat is the different about it?

yes, it is different because instead of reading the bottom of the meniscus, with mercury you would have to read the top from the direction the curve is


Do people actually dive to the Titanic?

No because Titanic is so deep you need a submarine capable of holding off the pressure. If a person dived in and swam to the bottom, chances are that you would die.

Why is the pressure in a pressure chamber dfferent at the top and bottom?

At the bottom, there is the additional weight of the gas or liquid above the surface level.

Why does sound travel faster at the bottom of a mountain than it does at the top?

Speed of sound in air is dependent on the air pressure, and air pressure is dependent on height above sea level. Up high, pressure is lower and speed of sound is different.


How do I remove the back seat of a 1992 Taurus?

Push against the front bottom of the rear bench to release clips (takes a lot of pressure) Lift bench out You will see clips or bolts holding the bottom of the seat back - release these and push up on the backof the seat to release upper clips
