ICSE Class 9 Answered
Why do we find the difference in pressure at the first floor and 3rd floor of a building to find the height of the 3 floor using the formula :
P= height x Density x Acceleration due to gravity

Expert Answer
It is given that the Pressure P is expressed as per the below stated formula,
Pressure (P)= height (h) x Density (p) x Acceleration due to gravity (g)
The above formula has 4 variables, out of which any 1 can be found with the help of calculation provided that the other 3 variables are known in the numerical question.
In any numerical problem, if the quantities like pressure, density and acceleration are given, we can easily find the height.
Also, the same formula can be used to calculate the difference in the pressure at different heights.
