If P is a pressure, ñ density, g gravitational acceleration, and h height (or depth) of a fluid, where is the relationship P = ñgh applicable?
A)only in liquids
B)only in gases
C)only in gases of uniform density (ideal gases)
D)in any type of fluid with uniform density (ideal fluid)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation P = ñgh is applicable in any type of fluid (liquids or gases) as long as the fluid has a uniform density, which is often referred to as an ideal fluid condition. This equation is derived from the basic principles of fluid statics and is used to calculate the pressure at a given depth (or height) in a fluid.
