Question 29
H

Point X is in water of density 1000 kg/m3 and point Y is in a salt solution of density 1200 kg/m3. X and Y are at the same depth below the surface. Which statement about the pressure at X and at Y is correct?

[1]
A

The pressure at X is greater, because the liquid at X is less dense

B

The pressures are equal, because the two depths are the same

C

The pressure at Y is greater, because the liquid at Y is denser

D

The pressure at Y is greater, because Y is deeper below the surface
