Expert Answer:
A liquid exerts pressure on the base of the container (vessel) and on all the bodies immersed in them due to its weight.
Liquid pressure= Weight density × Depth
Thus,
P = ρgh
where,
P - pressure
g - acceleration due to gravity
ρ - density of liquid
h - depth of liquid column
Thus,
Pressure of liquid is directly proportional to acceleration due to gravity.
