Pressure in an incompressible fluid at rest varies linearly with depth due to the weight of the fluid above. The pressure increases from zero at the free surface as depth increases based on an integration of the equation relating pressure, density, and depth for an incompressible fluid. This linear increase in pressure with depth is illustrated in the figure showing pressure variation in an incompressible fluid.
