Question 1.
What is hydrostatics?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how fluids behave when they are not moving.
Question 2.
How does pressure change with depth?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens under the weight of the fluid.
3Question 3.
What happens to pressure as depth increases in a fluid?
- Pressure decreases
- Pressure remains constant
- Pressure increases
Show hintHide hint
Consider intuitive experiences in deep water.
4Question 4.
