Question

As the depth of a liquid increases, the pressure of liquid decreases.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Hint: Pressure is a scalar per unit area quantity defined as force. Pressure only concerns the component of force perpendicular to the surface on which it acts, so the component of force along the direction perpendicular to the surface must be used to calculate pressure if the force acts at an angle.

Complete step by step solution:
1.The pressure exerted by an object on a surface increases as the object's weight increases or the contact surface area decreases. Alternatively, the pressure exerted decreases as the object's weight decreases or as the contact surface area increases.
2. As a liquid's depth increases, liquid pressure decreases. Pressure at a point in a fluid is the height or depth of the object from the surface, the height or depth of the object from the surface,
3.The pressure within static fluids depends on the fluid's properties, the gravity acceleration, and the depth within the fluid.
4. The pressure exerted by a static liquid depends only on the depth, the liquid density and the gravity acceleration.
5.Provides the expression for pressure as a function of depth within an incompressible, static liquid, as well as the derivation of this equation from the definition of pressure as a per unit volume measure of energy (si is the gas density, g is the gravity acceleration, and h is the liquid depth).
6.Pressure increases with increasing depth for any given liquid with constant density throughout. So, pressure increases with increase in depth

Therefore,the given statement is false.

Note:
The pressure inside a liquid depends only on the density of the liquid, the gravity acceleration and the depth inside the liquid. With increasing depth, the pressure exerted by such a static liquid rises linearly. The pressure inside a gas depends on the gas temperature, the mass of a single gas molecule, the gravity acceleration, and the height (or depth) inside the gas.
