- Question 12
- The bottom hole is at the greatest depth, which means it experiences the highest pressure, causing the water to spurt out with the most force.
- Question 13
- g
- Question 14
- The lowest depth
- The middle depth
- The shallowest depth
- It depends on the liquid's density.

- Card 1HintThink about the three main factors affecting liquid pressure: depth, density, and a force that keeps us on Earth.Memory TipP = hug
- Card 2HintIn the formula P = h × ρ × g, this letter indicates how deep you are.Memory Tiph for 'height' or 'how deep'
- Card 3HintThis Greek letter indicates how much 'stuff' is packed into a given volume of the liquid.Memory TipRho for 'robust' or 'heavy'
- Card 4HintThis letter represents the acceleration due to gravity, which is roughly 9.8 on Earth.Memory Tipg for 'gravity'
- Card 5HintIt's named after a famous French scientist and philosopher.Memory TipPa for 'pressure'
- Card 6HintImagine a soda bottle with poked holes. Which hole's water stream would go the farthest?Memory TipDeeper means further
- Card 7HintCompare the pressure at the bottom of a pool to the pressure just below the surface.Memory TipDepth increases pressure
- Card 8HintThis is a common value you should remember for water calculations.Memory TipWater: 1000 kg/m³
- Card 9HintThis value determines the weight of an object per unit mass near Earth's surface.Memory Tipg is nearly 10
