    1. Pressure in liquids acts equally in all directions and increases with depth due to the weight of the liquid above. 2. Pressure depends on the density of the liquid, with more dense liquids exerting higher pressure at a given depth. 3. The shape of the container does not affect pressure - at a particular depth the pressure is the same regardless of the container's shape or width.

    Examples of Pressure

    1. Increase the pressure by reducing the area.

    The area under the edge of


    the blade of the knife is
    very small. Beneath it the
    pressure is very high, so
    the blade can be pushed
    easily through materials
    such as fruit.

    The weight of the liquid causes


    pressure in the container. It also
    causes pressure on any object in

    Properties:

    Pressure acts in all directions.


    The liquid pushes on all surfaces
    it is in contact with. For a
    submarine this means that
    pressure is being exerted equally
    on all parts of the hull.

    the liquid.

    Properties:

    Pressure increases with depth.


    The deeper a liquid, the greater
    the weight above and so the
    higher the pressure. This is why
    dams are built with a taper
    towards a thicker base.

    Pressure depends upon the density
    of the liquid. The more dense a
    liquid, the higher the pressure at any
    given depth.

    Properties:

    Pressure doesn’t depend upon


    the shape of the container.
    The pressure at any particular
    depth is the same whatever the
    shape or width of the container.
