Description

This video explains how pressure in a fluid increases as the depth increases. At a particular point in a fluid, we can calculate the pressure, measured in Pascals. The pressure caused by a column of liquid can be calculated using the equation: pressure = height of column × density of the liquid × gravitational field strength.
