If w is the specific weight of liquid and k the depth of any point from the surface, then pressure intensity at that point will be A. h B. wh C. $$\frac{{\text{w}}}{{\text{h}}}$$ D. $$\frac{{\text{h}}}{{\text{w}}}$$

h
wh
$$rac{{ ext{w}}}{{ ext{h}}}$$
$$rac{{ ext{h}}}{{ ext{w}}}$$

The correct answer is: $\boxed{\text{B}. wh}$.

The pressure intensity at a point in a fluid is given by the following equation:

$$P = \rho g h$$

where:

The specific weight of a fluid is given by the following equation:

$$\gamma = \rho g$$

Therefore, the pressure intensity at a point in a fluid can be written as:

$$P = \gamma h$$

or, in this case,

$$P = wh$$
