The "Pressure" meter allows you to read the pressure at different depths in the fluid. Place the pressure meter close to the bottom of the pool, and read the pressure. Slowly move the pressure meter toward the surface of the water in the pool and read the pressure at different depths in the pool. What happens to pressure in the fluid as the depth of the fluid decreases?

Answer:

The pressure near the surface of the pool will be less as compared that the bottom of the pool as water has weight. This is in relation to gravity

Step-by-step explanation:

  • There is a relationship between volume and pressure. The increase in depth leads to an increase in volume and an increase in the force of gravity near the surface as compared to lifting and rising light pressure as light air rises and heavy air sinks.
