Answer:
D) surface area of the water
Explanation:
The pressure at the bottom of a column of fluid is given by Stevino's law:
[tex]p=\rho g h[/tex]
where
p is the pressure at the bottom of the column
[tex]\rho[/tex] is the density
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the depth of the liquid
So, we see that the pressure at the bottom of a jug filled with water depends on all these quantities:
A) depth of the liquid
B) acceleration due to gravity
C) density of water
While it does not depend on:
D) surface area of the water
