Q

factors affecting pressure

A

thrust and area. pressure id directly proportional to force because when force increases pressure increaces. pressure is inversly proportional to area because when area increases force decreases and when area decreases force decreases.

Q

properties of liquid pressure

A
  • it increases with increase in height of liquid column
  • it is transmitted equally in all directions when pressure is applied in the liquid kept in a container
  • it is directly propertional to density of liquid
  • it determines its own level

Q

relative density

A

the relative density of a substance is the ratio of the density of substance to the density of pure water.
- relative density has no unit because it is the ratio of two density
