(a) Fluid pressure:
\Pressure is defined as the force per unit area over the surface of a body.
\The pressure on an object at depth in a liquid is
, where
is the weight density of the liquid per unit of volume.
(b)
\The force exerted by a fluid of constant weight-density
(per unit of volume) against a submerged vertical plane region from
to
is
, where
is the depth of the fluid at
and
is the horizontal length of region at
.
