A chemistry graduate student is designing a pressure vessel for an experiment. The vessel will contain gases at pressures up to 220.0 MPa.
The student's design calls for an observation port on the side of the vessel (see diagram below). The bolts that hold the cover of this port onto
the vessel can safely withstand a force of 10.00 MN.

Hi Staffs,
Why is pressure a function of depth not volume? Please provide a real-world example that normally a student can relate to. It makes sense to me mathematically that the units match in the pressure formula P = pgh.
My thoughts:
If I think of the pressure difference between the bottom of the Pacific Ocean (let's say exactly 4km deep and let's say exactly 15000km wide) and an open cylinder with a width of 50cm and a depth just 1cm deeper than the bottom of the Pacific Ocean floor, I do not see how the pressure at the bottom of the cylinder is greater.
Take care
