How does pressure change as the depth below the surface of a fluid increases?

The pressure increases linearly with the depth below the surface

Explanation:

The pressure at the bottom of a column of fluid is given by:

where

is the atmospheric pressure

is the fluid's density

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the depth below the surface of the fluid

As we see from the equation, the pressure is directly proportional to h, the depth below the fluid surface: therefore, as h increases, the pressure increases as well.

distance = 150m

displ = root (50 ^2 + 100^2)

root(2500+10000)

root 125000
