Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure of a liquid :

Liquids also exert pressure as that in case of solids. We can understand it as the fact that it is impossible to hammer a nail with liquid. That's why liquid exert pressure on its surface. The formula for the pressure in liquid is given by :


P=\rho gh

Where


\rho = density of liquid

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

The SI init of pressure is Pascal and it is dented by Pa.
