Density and pressure — practice question

To derive the pressure equation $\Delta p = \rho g \Delta h$, several links between quantities are used. Which relationship is not involved in deriving this equation?

  • Adensity $= \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$
  • Bpotential energy $= \text{mass} \times \text{acceleration of free fall} \times \text{height}$
  • Cpressure $= \frac{\text{force}}{\text{area}}$
  • Dweight $= \text{mass} \times \text{acceleration of free fall}$
