Three vessels A, B and C of different shapes contain water upto the same height in the figure. `P_A, P_B and P_C` be the pressure exerted by the water at the bottom of the vessels A, B and C respectively. Then

A

`P_Agt P_B gt P_C`

B

`P_B gt P_C gt P_A`

C

`P_C gt P_B gt P_A`

D

`P_A = P_B = P_C`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) Pressure = `h rho g` Pressure at the bottom is independent of the area of the base of the vessel. It depends on the height of water upto which the vessel is filled with water. As in all the three vessels, level of water are the same, therefore Pressure at the bottom in all the vessels is also same. Hence, `P_A = P_B = PC`

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

Prove that the pressure exerted by water at the bottom of the container depends on the height of its column.

Two vessels A and B of different shapes have the same base area and are filled with water up to the same height h (see figure). The force exerted by water on the base is F_(A) for vessel A and F_(B) for vessel B . The respective weights of the water filled in vessels are W_(A) and W_(B) . Then

Two vessels A and B of cross sections as shown contain a liquid up to the same height. As the temperature rises, the liquid pressure at the bottom (neglecting expansion of the vessels ) will :

When two liquids A and B of equal weight are filled inside two identical containers, the height of the liquid Column A is greater than the height of the liquid Column B. If P_(A)andP_(B) are the pressures exerted by A and B at the bottom of the containers, respectively, and d_(A),d_(B) are the densities of A and B, respectively, which of the following statements is true ?

Four vessels A, B, C and D have different shapes and hold different amount of water. Which of the following is correct.

Three vessels containing same liquid, upto the same height h, then pressure at the bottom is ( A_1 > A_2 > A_3 )

Three identical vessels A, B and C contain same quantity of liquid. In each vessel balls of different densities but same masses are placed. In vessel A , the ball is partly submerged, in vessel B , the ball is completely submerged but floating and in vessel C , the ball has sunk to the base. If F_(A), F_(B) and F_(C) are the total forces acting on the base of vessels A, B and C , respectively, then

Three identical vessels are filled to the same height with three different liquids A, B and C(rho_(A) gt rho_(B) gt rho_(C)) . The pressure at the base will be
