What happens to pressure as you go deeper in a liquid?
Consider the effect of the liquid's weight.
Define Pascal's law.
Think about how pressure acts in liquids.
What is the relationship between pressure and depth in a liquid?
Think about what happens as you fill a container with more liquid.
True or False: Pascal's law states that pressure at one point in a fluid is the same as at any other point in that fluid.
Remember how pressure acts equally in all directions.
A tank of water has a height of 20 meters. Calculate the pressure at the bottom of the tank and discuss how this pressure would change if the tank was filled with oil (density = 800 kg/m³).
Use the formula for pressure in fluids.
Discuss the implications of pressure differences on a submerged object at a depth of 15 meters and how it affects its buoyancy.
Think about how the pressure at the bottom differs from the top of the object.
