To determine whether the statement "The water pressure at the bottom of a small, deep pond is greater than the pressure at the bottom of a large shallow lake" is true or false, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Pressure Pressure is defined as the force exerted per unit area. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ P = \frac{F}{A} \] where \( P \) is pressure, \( F \) is force, and \( A \) is area. **Hint:** Remember that pressure depends on the force acting on a specific area. ...
