A block of mass m and density p is hanging from a string . If it is lowered into a vessel of cross-sectional area A containing a liquid of density `sigma(lt rho)` and gets fully immered, the increase in pressure at the bottom of vessel would be

A

`(mrhog)/(sigma A)`

B

`(mrhog)/(rho A)`

C

`(mg)/(A)`

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Volume of block `=(m)/(rho)`
`:.` Boutant force on block - Volume `xx` Density of liquid `xxg =(m)/(rho)xxsigmaxxg`
By Newtom's third law of motion, force exerted by block on liquid surface `=(msigmag)/(rhoA)`
`:.` Increases in pressure `=(msigmag)/(rhoA)`
