प्रश्न
Write an expression for the pressure at a point inside a liquid. Explain the meaning of the symbols used.
उत्तर
P = Po + h ρ g
Here, P = Pressure exerted at a point in the liquid
Po = Atmospheric pressure
h = Depth of the point below the free surface
`ρ` = Density of the liquid
g = Acceleration due to gravity
