Answer:
Explanation:
The pressure of a liquid is the rate of the force applied by the liquid on a surface per unit area of the surface.
i.e P = [tex]\frac{F}{A}[/tex]
where P is the pressure, F is the force and A is the area.
The depth of the liquid determines its pressure at a definite lower point. As the pressure of a liquid at the bottom of a its container is greater than the pressure at the top of the liquid.
Thus,
P = σhg
where P is the pressure, σ is the density of the liquid, h is the height and g is the force of gravity.
It is measured in Pascals or N[tex]m^{-2}[/tex].
The pressure of liquid has a lot of applications, viz: siphon, force pump, lift pump etc.
