Deduce an expression for the pressure at depth inside a liquid.

उत्तर
Consider a vessel containing a liquid of density. Let the liquid be stationary. In order to calculate pressure at a depth, consider a horizontal circular surface PQ of area A at a depth h below the free surface XY of the liquid. The pressure on the surface PQ will be due to the thrust of the liquid contained in cylinder PQRS of height h with PQ as its base and top face RS lying on the frees surface XY of the liquid.
Total thrust exerted on the surface PQ
= Weight of the liquid column PQRS
= Volume of liquid column PQRS x density x g
= (Area of base PQ x height) x density x g
= (A x h) x ρ x g
This thrust is exerted on the surface PQ of area A. Therefore, pressure is given as shown below.
P = Thrust on surface / Area of surface
P = Ahρg / A = h ρ g
Thus, Pressure = depth x density of liquid x acceleration due to gravity
