Question 4: What are the factors on which liquid pressure depends?
Question 1: Define buoyant force.
Question 2: State the value of normal atmospheric pressure.
Question 3: Why do fountain pens start leaking at high altitude?
Ans 4- The factors on which liquid pressure depends are:
- Depth of liquid
- Density of liquid
- Acceleration due to gravity.
Ans1-When a body is immersed in a fluid(liquid or gas) it exerts an upward force on the body. This force is called upthrust or buoyant force and the phenomenon is termed as buoyancy.
Ans2- Normal atmospheric pressure is equal to 76cm of mercury column in a barometer.
Ans3-because of low atmospheric pressure.
