The equation mentioned is not correct. The correct equation for pressure at a point h below the free surface of the liquid of density p and g as the acceleration due to gravity is:
p = p0 + pgh
where:
p = pressure at a point h below the free surface
p0 = atmospheric pressure at the free surface
p = density of the liquid
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = depth below the free surface
This equation takes into account the atmospheric pressure at the free surface and the pressure due to the depth of the liquid below the surface.
Check the correction of the equation p=phg,where p=pressure at a point h below the free surface of the liquid of density p and g as the acceleration due to gravity.with method
