Fluid pressure is the force per unit area that acts on an object in the fluid or on a closed container's surface.

The cause of this pressure is due to acceleration, gravity, or by forces that are outside the closed container.

12. What is the pressure at points A, B, C & D marked in the given mercury barometer? Assume that you have used a tube of length greater than 76cm and then filled it completely with mercury and then inverted into a jar. Let P0 be atmospheric pressure, g be acceleration due to gravity and ρ be the density of mercury.
