Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a fluid, what is the relationship between depth and pressure?
  • Step 1: Understand that a fluid can be a liquid or gas.
  • Step 2: Recognize that pressure is the force exerted by the fluid on a surface.
  • Step 3: Know that the deeper you go in a fluid, the more fluid is above you.
  • Step 4: Realize that the weight of the fluid above increases as you go deeper.
  • Step 5: Conclude that because of this weight, the pressure at greater depths is higher.
