but when the valum changes,the pressure will change.russ_watters said:Pressure is equal to the weight of the water above the point where it is being measured (divided by unit area), so shape couldn't make any difference.
Pressure in liquids is the force per unit area that is exerted by a liquid on its container or any object immersed in it. It is a measure of how much force is being applied over a certain area.
Pressure in liquids is shape-independent because it is transmitted equally in all directions. This means that the pressure at any point in a liquid is the same regardless of the shape or size of the container or object it is in.
The depth of a liquid does not affect pressure, as long as the liquid is not moving. The pressure at any point in a liquid is determined by the weight of the liquid above that point, not the depth. This is why pressure in liquids is often referred to as hydrostatic pressure.
The main factor that affects pressure in liquids is the density of the liquid. The denser the liquid, the greater the pressure it exerts. Other factors that can affect pressure in liquids include the gravitational pull, the depth of the liquid, and the height of the liquid column.
Pressure in liquids is typically measured using a device called a manometer. This device contains a liquid (usually mercury) and measures the difference in pressure between two points in the liquid. The unit of measurement for pressure in liquids is typically Pascal (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi).
