Liquid Columns

Fill tubes and tanks and read the gauges. Find the pressure at any depth.

Physics · Class 11 · Pressure in a liquid · 8 simulations. For JEE, NEET and your boards.

What you'll learn

  1. Push on the hatch: Force = pressure × area
  2. Deep enough: Full pressure = air + ρgh
  3. Any shape, same depth: Only the depth counts
  4. Oil on water: Equal pressure at the join's level
  5. Flip the tube: The air holds up the column
  6. Gas can gauge: The level gap shows the extra pressure
  7. Spin the tube: The push on the cap is ½ρAL²ω²
  8. Liquid planet: Inside a planet, g grows from zero
