A robotic exploration probe descends through a liquid methane sea on Saturn's moon Titan, from a depth of 4.50 m4.50\text{ m}4.50 m to a depth of 38.50 m38.50\text{ m}38.50 m below the surface.
Given:
Explain why the fluid pressure on the probe increases as it descends deeper.
Calculate the increase in fluid pressure on the probe. State the unit.
Practise AQA GCSE Physics Pressure and pressure differences in fluids (physics only) with exam-style questions for Foundation and Higher tier. 27 questions covering Pressure in a fluid and Atmospheric pressure, matched to the AQA GCSE Physics (8463) specification and written in Paper 1 and Paper 2 style. Every question includes a full worked solution and mark scheme, so you can see where marks are awarded rather than just whether you got the answer right.
