Answer to Question #280741 in Classical Mechanics for Nate

Question

1. How does density affect pressure in liquids?

2. How pressure vary with dept?

3. How does water pressure increase with dept?

4. Does presure depends on density?

Answer 1

1.

As the density of the liquid increases, so does the pressure. If the liquid is open to the air, there will also be atmospheric pressure on its surface.

2.

Pressure and depth have a directly proportional relationship. 

3.

$p\sim h.$

4.

$p\sim \rho.$
