\nThe pressure exerted by a liquid column at the base of the beaker depends on the height of the liquid column.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– The pressure exerted by a column of liquid at a depth ‘h’ is given by the formula P = \u03c1gh, where:
\n – P is the pressure
\n – \u03c1 (rho) is the density of the liquid
\n – g is the acceleration due to gravity
\n – h is the height of the liquid column
\n<\/section>\n
\n– The formula P = \u03c1gh shows that liquid pressure depends directly on the density of the liquid, the acceleration due to gravity, and the height (or depth) of the liquid column.
\n– It is independent of the shape of the container or the area of the base, as long as the height and density are the same (this is known as the hydrostatic paradox).
