Pressure changes very easily. The deeper that you go there is more pressure. For example, when you dive into the ocean, there is not only a whole sky-worth of air pushing down on you, but you are also being pressured by the tons of water above you. On the flipside, when you travel to a greater altitude, pressure decreases. For exapmle, when you climb a mountian, there is less air above you pushing down on you then there is on sealevel.

∙ 15y agoFluid pressure is directly proportional to the depth of the fluid and its density.
In water the pressure increases at a rate of 1Atmosphere per 10 m, or 1 bar per 33 ft.

Why does velocity of water change with depth?
The primary change is of pressure, increasing at 1 Bar per 10 metres of depth; but in the oceans, the temperature and salinity also alter in subtle ways.
What is the purpose of Pressure Points?
By Steven Holzner In physics, Pascal's principle says that given a fluid in a totally enclosed system, a change in pressure at one point in the fluid is transmitted to all points in the fluid, as well as to the enclosing walls. In other words, if you have a fluid enclosed in a pipe (with no air bubbles) and change the pressure in the fluid at one end of the pipe, the pressure changes all throughout the pipe to match.
How do you find diameter of cylinder if pressure at base is given?
You can't. In addition to the cylinder's diameter, the pressure at its base also depends on the density and depth of the fluid in the cylinder ... which gives you the weight of fluid resting on the base area. The pressure alone is not enough information to allow you to calculate the diameter.
What is the relationship between water depth and pressure?
Pressure and depth are related in that pressure is proportional to depth. The equation to find pressure at a certain depth is p=dgh, where p is the pressure, d is the density, g is the acceleration of gravity and h is the depth.
What causes the pressure exerted by fluid?
Its the weight of the liquid above the point where you are measuring it, for instance at a depth of 100 feet, find the weight ( in pounds) of water of a column of cross sectional area 1 sq. in. by 100 feet high, this would represent the pressure in pounds per square inch ( PSI )
Why does fluid Pressure change with the elevation and depth?
At a greater depth, the weight of all the liquid (or gas) above adds to the pressure.
Can attitude and depth affect fluid pressure?
Yes!!! The altitude and depth cause the fuid to change.
Which is true about the pressure of a fluid at a specific depth?
The pressure of a fluid generally increases with depth. This therefore means that at a specific depth the pressure of a fluid is constant.
Describe the reason a fluid exerts pressure on an object immersed in the fluid?
The pressure that a fluid exerts depends on the density and the depth of the fluid.
Why does pressure of fluid vary with depth?
For a very basic explanation, pressure is the amount of force in any given area. Hydrostatic pressure, or fluid pressure, is the amount of force exuded at equilibrium due to gravity. So at any given point in a fluid, the pressure is equal to the weight of the fluid above it as well as the depth below it.
Why is the pressure at the bottom of an object in fluid greater than the pressure at the top of the object?
because of the height, as you go down further in depth the greater the pressure. imagine when you at a greater depth the greater amount of fluid you have to endure. the pressure would be the same everywhere at the same depth in fluid but the force on the object would depend on the area of the object.
How is fluid pressure distributed at a given level in fluid?
Fluid Pressure is evenly distributed at a given level in fluid. Your welcome
What is the relationship between liquid pressure and depth of a liquid?
As the depth of the fluid increases, the pressure increases. To explain this mathematicaly you consider the Sg of the fluid times the height of the column multiplied by gravity will give you the pressure at the base of the column
What causes pressure in fluid's?
All of the forces exerted by the individual molecules in a fluid add together to make up the pressure exerted by the fluid
How does height affect fluid pressure?
As the depth of a fluid column increases, the pressure at the bottom increases due to the weight of the additional material above.j3h.
What describes how temperature and pressure change with depth below Earth's surface?
Both temperature and pressure increase with depth.
Explain why fluid pressure varies with depth in a liquid and a gas?
Because the mass of the fluid column increase.
