What 2 factors affect the pressure in a column of liquid?
The height of the column and the density of the liquid
The higher the column above the point, and the more dense the liquid : the greater the weight above the point - the greater the force on the surface at that point - the greater the pressure
What is the equation for pressure in a column of liquid?
Pressure = height (of column) x density (of liquid) x gravitationalfieldstrength
Pressure is measured in pascals (Pa)
Height of column is measured in metres (m)
Density is measured in kilogramspermetrecubed (k/gm³)
