Question 1.
What is the effect of increasing depth on liquid pressure?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how much weight is above you below the water surface.
Question 2.
How does density affect liquid pressure?
Show hintHide hint
What happens when you compare oil and water?
3Question 3.
What happens to liquid pressure as depth increases?
- Decreases
- Increases
- Remains the same
Show hintHide hint
Think about the weight of water above you.
4Question 4.
True or False: Denser liquids exert less pressure than less dense liquids.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the relationship between density and pressure.
Question 5.
A tank is filled with two layers of liquid: water on the bottom and oil on top. If the water is 1m deep and oil is 2m deep, which layer exerts more pressure at the junction?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the densities of water and oil in your calculations.
Question 6.
Explain how pressure would change if a diver moves from 10m depth to 30m depth in water. Include effects of depth and density.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the formula you learned for liquid pressure.
