Can someone prove that Pressure=Height *Density of liquid( NOt Specific Gravity)?
*Pressure=Height *Density of liquid can not be proved considering the laws of fluid mechanics. *For a particular case, you can show what you have asked. *Pressure=Height *Specific Gravity of liquid =Height *[Density of liquid] / [Density of water at 4 deg.C] =Height *[Density of liquid] / [1] =Height *[Density of liquid] So, Pressure=Height *[Density of liquid] [At 4°C pure water has a density (weight or mass) of about 1 g/cu.cm, 1 g/ml,1 kg/liter, 1000 kg/cu.m, 1 tonne/cu.m or 62.4 lb/cu.ft] *The weight of a mass is the force that the earth pulls on the mass. The weight of a mass is the force of gravity on the mass. There are two kinds of density, “weight density” and “mass density”. We will only use mass density and when we say: “density”, we will mean “mass density”. Density is mass per volume. -The amount of some quantity per unit volume, notably of mass per unit volume, termed distinctively mass density but more properly volumic mass. -The specific weight (also known as the unit w
