Pressure gradient in the horizontal dire...

Pressure gradient in the horizontal direction in a static fluid is represented by (z-direction is vertically upwards, and x-axis is along horizontal, d is density of fluid):

A

`(delp)/(delz)=-dg`

B

`(delp)/(delx)=dg`

C

`(delp)/(delx)=0`

D

`(delp)/(delz)=0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In a static fluid, pressure remains same at the same level, ie, pressure do not vary with x-coordinate
