Figure here shows the vertical cross-section of a vessel filled with a liquid of density `rho`. The normal thrust per unit area on the walls vessel at point. `P`, as shown, will be

A

`h rho g`

B

`H rho g`

C

`(H - h) rho g`

D

`(H - h) rho g costheta`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`rhog(H -h)`
Thrust in equal to pressure at that point.
