Answer the following:

a. Give two examples of use of fluid pressure by us.

b.

If a pentagonal cylinder filled with water is connected with another cylinder of different volume, in which cylinder would the level of water be greater finally? Both cylinders are open at the top. [5 MARKS]

Solution

Part a : 2 Marks
Part b : 3 Marks

a.
i. Cooking in pressure cooker.
ii. Hydraulic lift

b.
Since the pressure is same at same level so finally the level of water in both the cylinders would be same. Level of water in the circular cylinder cannot be more than level of water in pentagonal cylinder because both the cylinders are open at the top.
