Question

Liquid pressure at a point in a liquid does not depend on the

• A. Density of liquid
• B. Shape of the vessel in which the liquid is kept
• C. Depth of the point from the surface
• D. Acceleration due to gravity

Answer 1

The correct option is B Shape of the vessel in which the liquid is kept

The expression of the pressure at a point in a fluid is given by $P=h\rho g$

where.

$h$; depth of the point from the surface,

$\rho$; be the density of the fluid and

$g$; acceleration due to gravity

Thus, the pressure in liquid at a point does not depend on the shape of the vessel in which the liquid is kept.
