Explain the variation of pressure exerted by liquid with depth with a neat labelled diagram.
Dear student,
Weight of a body is the force with which the earth attracts it. A liquid too has mass and is attracted by the force of gravity. This weight, or force, acts downwards on the base of the container which holds the liquid. So the pressure exerted on the base of the container is the weight of the liquid divided by the area of the base.

All the liquids exert pressure on the base or bottom and walls of their container.All the liquid have weight.When we pour liquid into a vessel, then the weight of liquid pushes down on the base of the vessel producing a pressure.The liquid exerts pressure on the base of the vessel. Thus as the depth increases, pressure increases.
