Question

A liquid of density $2\rho$ is filled in an open container. At a depth $‘h^{\prime }$ from the surface, the total pressure is ________.

• A. greater than $\rho gh$
• B. less than $\rho gh$
• C. cannot be determined
• D. equal to $\rho gh$

Answer 1

The correct option is A greater than $\rho gh$

Total pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Pressure due to water column
Total pressure $=P_0+\rho gh$
