RELATION
BETWEEN
Pressure and depth have a directly
PRESSURE proportional relationship. When an object is
AND DEPTH submersed in a liquid the depth of it increases
and pressure also increases. Conversely, as
OF A LIQUID objects are lifted, and the depth decreases,
pressure is reduced.
 Investigation- Relation between Pressure and Depth
Aim:- Demonstrate the relation Prediction:-  As the depth of the liquid
between pressure and depth of a liquid. increases the pressure also increases.
Variables:-
Independent Variables:- Depth of liquid
Dependent Variables:- Pressure of Liquid
Controlled Variables:- Same Water container, Same
amount of water, same size of holes at the same gap

farthest and fastest from the lowest tube this shows that liquid pressure
increases with depth.
FORMULAE OF PRESSURE IN LIQUIDS

• Pressure of a liquid is directly proportional to

• the gravitational field strength
• the depth
• density of the liquid.
• Pressure in liquids is not affected by the size
or shape of the object.
• The pressure caused by a liquid and the
pressure in a liquid can be determined by
using the equation:

• Pressure of Liquid
