Question
How does the liquid pressure on a diver change according to the following condition:
When the driver moves horizontally
Advertisements
Solution
When the diver moves horizontally the depth from the surface remains the same and as we know that pressure at depth h is given by P = h × p × g so as depth remains the same pressure would remain the same while moving horizontally. (Density of liquid, g also remains the same).
