Question

Which is true about the pressure of a fluid at a specific depth?

It varies with the total volume of the fluid.

It depends only on the type of fluid.

It is exerted only in the downward direction.

It depends on the surface area of the fluid.

Answer 1

Answer;

It varies with the total volume of the fluid.

Explanation;

• Pressure and depth have a directly proportional relationship, due to the greater column of fluid that pushes down on an object submersed.
• The relationship between pressure and depth may be looked at with respect to the relationship between pressure and volume, as the column of fluid has a specific volume and corresponding to depth.
