Introduction

Why do you feel a light pain in the chest when you go for the first time at beach?

Why people cannot dive so deep in water even though they may have oxygen cylinders with them?

Do you think it is important the position of an object inside water if the depth doesn't change?

Do you think the situation changes when you replace water with another liquid in the above examples?

All the above questions relate to the concept of liquid pressure, which will be explained in this tutorial.
