Q: In a fluid at rest, the pressure at a point depends on:
Solution:
In a fluid at rest, the pressure at a point depends on the height of the fluid column above it, as described by hydrostatic pressure.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that a fluid at rest means it is not moving.
Step 2: Recognize that pressure is the force exerted by the fluid on a point.
Step 3: Know that the pressure at a certain point in the fluid is influenced by the weight of the fluid above it.
Step 4: Realize that the height of the fluid column above the point affects this weight.
Step 5: Conclude that higher fluid means more weight, which increases pressure at that point.
