6. Pressure in Liquids and Its Transmission

Pressure in liquids is influenced by depth, density, and gravitational acceleration, leading to increased pressure as depth increases. This chapter explains hydrostatic pressure, Pascal’s Law regarding the transmission of pressure in confined fluids, and the concepts of buoyancy and hydrostatic force. Additionally, it discusses various applications and implications, such as in hydraulic systems and measuring pressure using manometers.
