Question

Which of the following describes pressure in a fluid?

A. Pressure varies randomly throughout a fluid.
B. Pressure decreases with increasing depth.
C. Pressure remains unchanged with increasing depth.
D. Pressure increases with increasing depth.

Answer 1

D. Pressure increases with increasing depth.

This occurs because there is more weight above you to increase the pressure.

Answer 2

D. Pressure increases with increasing depth

Step-by-step explanation:

The mathematical expression of pressure is defined as

Pressure = density x gravity x height.

From the expressions, pressure is directly proportional to height. So, the deeper you go the greater the pressure.
