When a liquid is held in a container, it

exerts pressure on the container…

In what direction does the pressure act?
Does the water flow out of the aquarium
when there is a crack?
Does the density of the liquid affect its
pressure?

Liquid pressure does not depend on

the shape, or surface area of the liquid
 How about
density of the
liquids ?

 Pressure in Liquids
• The pressure in a liquid increases with depth

• The pressure at a point in liquid depends on its

vertical distance from the surface of the liquid, h
• Liquid pressure does not depend on the shape, total
mass, or surface area of the liquid
• A liquid with a higher density exerts a higher
pressure, ρ
• The pressure in a liquid is affected by the force of
gravity, g
FORMULA

m= ρV F= W = mg
= Ahρ = Ahρg

Pressure, P = W
A
= Ahρg
A
= hρg
P = hρg

 The pressure of water at a depth of
approximately 4000m under the sea is
about 400 times greater than the
pressure at sea level. A pressure of this
magnitude will crush the bodies of
humans and ships unless they are
enclosed in special equipments.
