Some liquid is kept in a container inside an artificial satellite revolving in a circular orbit around the earth. What will be the pressure at a point inside the liquid?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that a body becomes weightless when placed inside an artifical satellite revolving around the earth. For this reason, the liquid inside the satellite has no weight and hence no pressure develops at any point within the liquid. However, there is the gravitational attraction of the satellite itself. This force on the liquid is so low that the pressure due to this is negligible.
