If the atmospheric pressure is $P_a$,then the pressure $P$ at depth $h$ below the surface of a liquid of density $\rho$ open to the atmosphere is:

  • A
    $P_a - \frac{\rho gh}{2}$
  • B
    $P_a - \rho gh$
  • C
    $P_a$
  • D
    $P_a + \rho gh$

What is the pressure in $atm$ on a swimmer $10\; m$ below the surface of a lake?

$A$ $U$-shaped tube is partially filled with an incompressible liquid of density $1.2 \ g \ cm^{-3}$. Oil, which does not mix with the liquid, is poured into the left side of the $U$-tube until the liquid rises by $15 \ cm$ on the right side. If the density of the oil is $0.9 \ g \ cm^{-3}$, the oil level will stand higher than the liquid level on the right side of the $U$-tube by: (in $cm$)

Show that the pressure produced due to a fluid column depends on the height of the fluid column and the density of the fluid.
