How does pressure exerted by liquid change in depth Grade 8
Added by Joel R.
Step 1
This is known as hydrostatic pressure. As we go deeper into the liquid, the weight of the liquid above us increases. This means that the pressure exerted by the liquid also increases. The increase in pressure with depth is directly proportional to the density Show more…
