Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the relationship between pressure and depth in a fluid at rest? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand that a fluid is a liquid or gas that can flow.
  • Step 2: Recognize that when a fluid is at rest, it means it is not moving.
  • Step 3: Know that pressure is the force exerted by the fluid on a surface.
  • Step 4: Realize that the deeper you go in a fluid, the more fluid is above you.
  • Step 5: Understand that the weight of the fluid above creates more pressure as you go deeper.
  • Step 6: Conclude that pressure increases with depth because of the weight of the fluid above.
