Pressure liquid

what would the pressure of liquid at a depth be in a container which is slanted?

 

i suspect [tex] h.d.g.sinAngle [/tex]. correct me if i am wrong

 

in the derivation of the pressure of liquid, the weight is assumed to act perpendicular to the column of liquid. Plz comment

 

of course but i find similar case to the inclined plane. can somebody give a reasoning?

 

somebody reply

 

wouldnt this imply that the liquid would accelerate at g in slanted tubes?

 

No. Please describe exactly what you have in mind. Are you talking about hydrostatic pressure? (Which is what I assumed.) Or fluid dynamics?

I am not familiar with the terms but i guess you are asking whether i am talking about stationary fluids or flowing ones. Eg. in an inclined plane, there is a mass a top, even though its weight acts exactly downward, it would rather move along the plane. And the force with with it moves along the plane is lesser according to its slope. Same for liquids. But as dave said while the liquid is continuous and stationary, the force with with a finite upper part of liquid exerts on the lower part will be the same as for the case of liquids in vertical column. This is not clear to me.

Eg. lets take a column of liquid standing upright and pour some water into it. And then slant it a bit. Then the depth of the liquid increases even though it is not continuous on the upper part (i hope this is understood). So as the depth increases although not uniformly, the pressure in one side must increase. Help me out with this.

 

i havent learned any of hydrodynamics or hydrostatics. So i think this phenomenon is taken as as true. Is there a proof for it?
