Question

A cylinder of mass m and density r hanging from a string is lowered into a vessel of cross-sectional area s containing a liquid of density s (<r) until it is fully immersed. The increase in pressure at the bottom of the vessel is –

• A.
• B. $\frac { \mathrm { mg } } { \mathrm { s } }$
• C.
• D. Zero

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Answer 2

Upthrust in cylinder = sg

From newton’s third law, force exerted by the cylinder on the

liquid is also rg

\ Increase in pressure =
