===Pressure in a Fluid===
: The [[force]] responsible for [[pressure]] in a [[fluid]] is the [[weight]] of all the [[particle]]s above the [[object]].
: The [[pressure]] in a [[fluid]] decreases with height and increases with depth. The deeper into a [[fluid]] the greater the pressure.
: Since [[pressure]] increases with depth then the bottom of an [[object]] will experience more [[pressure]] than the top of the [[object]]. This causes a [[force]] called [[upthrust]].
