Which of the following relations gives the absolute pressure PP at a depth hh below the free surface of a liquid of density ρ\rho, if the atmospheric pressure at the surface is P0P_0? (a) P=P0−ρghP = P_0 - \rho g h (b) P=ρghP = \rho g h (c) P=P0+ρghP = P_0 + \rho g h (d) P=P0+12ρghP = P_0 + \dfrac{1}{2}\rho g h
