In a fluid with weight density $\rho g$, what is the pressure $p$ at depth $h$ below the surface?
Question 2
What is the SI unit of fluid force?
Question 3
In a still fluid, how does pressure change as depth increases?
Question 4
A horizontal plate has area $2\text{ m}^2$ and is located $5$ m below the water surface. If water has weight density $9800\text{ N/m}^3$, what is the fluid force on the plate?
Question 5
