Question 1

What happens to pressure as you increase your depth in a fluid?

  • Increases
  • Decreases
  • Remains constant

💡 Hint: Think about what is pressing down as you go deeper.

Question 2

True or False: Pressure in a fluid at rest varies with direction.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember the concept of pressure acting perpendicularly.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the pressure at a depth of 50 meters in seawater, given that the density of seawater is approximately 1025 kg/m³. Assume gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/s².

💡 Hint: Don’t forget to check the units for consistency.

Question 2

A dam needs to hold back water at a depth of 30 meters. If the density of the water is 1000 kg/m³, how thick should the base of the dam be to withstand the pressure without structural failure, if the maximum stress allowed in the material is 5 MPa?

💡 Hint: Always factor in safety and material properties around pressure; thickness design may involve more calculations.
