Detailed Solution

  • The pressure due to a liquid is given by P = ρgh
  • Where ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration due to the gravity of the place and h is the height of the liquid column.
  • The more the depth of the object inside the liquid more is the height of the liquid column above the object.

Therefore, we can say that the pressure exerted on an object inside a liquid is directly proportional to the depth of the object in the liquid.
