Question
State the laws of liquid pressure.
✓
Answer
Laws of liquid pressure:
(i) Pressure at a point inside the liquid increases with the depth from its free surface.
(ii) In a stationary liquid, pressure is same at all points on a horizontal plane.
(iii) Pressure is same in all directions about a point in the liquid.
(iv) Pressure at same depth is different in different liquids. It increases with the increase in the density of liquid.
(v) A liquid seeks its own level.
