Question 4
The figure shows a container filled with water. Which of the following statements is correct about pressure of water?


(a) Pressure at A> Pressure at B> Pressure at C
(b) Pressure at A=Pressure at B=Pressure at C
(c) Pressure at A< Pressure at B>Pressure at C
(d) Pressure at A< Pressure at B<Pressure at C

Answer 1

(d) Pressure at A< Pressure at B<Pressure at C

The pressure in a liquid increases with the depth. The depth at C is maximum, hence the pressure is maximum at C. The depth at A is minimum, hence the pressure is minimum at A.
