Q

Enumerate the 4 properties of fluid pressure.

A

The forces exerted by a fluid on the walls of its
container are always perpendicular.

The fluid pressure is directly proportional to the
depth of the fluid and to its density.

At any particular depth, the fluid pressure is the
same in all directions.

Fluid pressure is independent of the shape or area of
its container.
