Answer:
P=F/A where F is the weight of the water and A is the area on which it is resting. The weight of the water is mg. The mass of the water is dv where d is the density and v is the volume. Finally, the volume of the water in a vessel is equal to the area of the base of the vessel times the height of the vessel. (v=Ah)
Plugging everything in we get:
P = dAhg/A
So
P=dhg
So we have shown that liquid pressure is directly proportional to height of liquid in a vessel.
