Question

A cylindrical vessel is filled with a liquid of density $d$ upto a height $h$, if the vessel is at rest, then the pressure at the bottom is

• A. zero
• B. $\frac{h}{2}dg$
• C. $hdg$
• D. $2hdg$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$hdg$

Answer 2

For a point at depth $h$ below the surface of a liquid of density $d$, hydrostatic pressure $p$ is given by $p=hdg$
