A siphon in use is demonstrated in the following figure. The density of the liquid flowing in siphon is 1.5 gm/cc. The pressure difference between the point P and S will be

A

105N/m

B

2 × 105N/m

C

Zero

D

Infinity

Answer

Zero

Explanation

Solution

As the both points are at the surface of liquid and these points

are in the open atmosphere. So both point possess similar

pressure and equal to 1 atm. Hence the pressure difference

will be zero.
