Pressure at depth h in fluid: P = P₀ + ρgh. If depth doubles, pressure increase is:

Question

Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

Gauge pressure (excluding atmospheric) P_gauge = ρgh ∝ h. Doubling depth doubles gauge pressure. Total pressure P = P₀ + ρgh increases but not exactly double due to P₀ term. Question asks about pressure increase (ρgh part). Memory tip: 'Hydrostatic pressure ∝ depth'. Fundamental fluid statics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
