Question

Three vessels A, B and C of different shapes contain a water upto the same height as shown in the figure and .be the pressures exerted by the water at the bottom of the vessels A, B and C respectively. Then

• A.
• B. $\mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { B } } > \mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { C } } > \mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { A } }$
• C. $\mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { C } } > \mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { B } } > \mathrm { P } _ { \mathrm { A } }$
• D.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Answer 2

Pressure = hpg

Pressure at the bottom is independent of the area of the base of the vessel. It depends on the length of height of water up to which the vessel is filled with water as in all the three vessels level of water area the same therefore pressure at the bottom in all the vessels is also the same.

Hence,
