Question

The external static pressure applied on a confined liquid is distributed or transmitted evenly throughout the liquid in

• A. All direction
• B. particular direction
• C. no direction
• D. none of the option

Answer 1

The correct option is A All direction

Whenever, pressure is applied anywhere on a confined fluid, it is transmitted undiminished in all directions throughout the fluid.

This can be summarized in pascal’s law as “The external pressure exerted on a confined fluid at rest is transmitted unchanged and equally in all directions”.
