The pressure at the bottom of a liquid tank is not proportional to the

A

acceleration due to gravity

B

density of the liquid

C

height of the liquid

D

area of the liquid surface.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The pressure at the bottom of a liquid tank is, `P=P_("atm")+rhogh`
where,
`P_("atm")` = atmospheric pressure
`rho` = density of the liquid
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height of the liquid
Thus, it is independent of the area of the liquid surface.
