__Pressure In Fluids__


 *  The pressure exerted by the liquid depends on the density as well as the depth

 * If you are one meter deep in a pool you would feel the same amount of pressure if you were one meter deep in an ocean
 * Pressure does not depend on the amount of liquid

 * liquid pressure = weight density x depth
 * This is shown in the equation for liquid pressure
 * liquid pressure is measured in pascals

 * If you are submerged in water, no matter which way your head is turned you will feel the same amount of pressure in your ears
 * Liquid pressure is exerted equally in all directions

 * The principal is used in wells, and dams
 * Pascal's Principal states: "a change in the pressure of an enclosed incompressible fluid is conveyed undiminished to every part of the fluid and to the surfaces of its container"
