1. How is mechanical pressure defined mathematically in terms of force F and area A?Pressure = Area / ForcePressure = Force / Area (P = F / A)Pressure = Force × AreaPressure = Mass × Area
2. What formula calculates hydrostatic pressure P at depth h in a liquid of density ρ under gravity g?P = m × g × hP = ρ / (g × h)P = ρ × g × hP = ρ × h / g
3. Does liquid pressure at the bottom of a container depend on the total width or shape of the container?No, pressure depends on depthNo, unless tank is made of glassYes, triangular tanks double itYes, wider tanks make more pressure
