Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the pressure in a fluid as depth increases?
  • Step 1: Understand that a fluid is a liquid or gas that can flow.
  • Step 2: Recognize that pressure is the force exerted by the fluid on a surface.
  • Step 3: Realize that in a fluid at rest, the weight of the fluid above pushes down on the fluid below.
  • Step 4: Know that as you go deeper into the fluid, there is more fluid above you.
  • Step 5: Understand that more fluid above means more weight pushing down.
  • Step 6: Conclude that because of this added weight, the pressure increases as you go deeper.
