How does liquid pressure depend on the depth of a point below the surface of a liquid

A

`h rho g `

B

`h rho (g-a)`

C

`h rho (g +a)`

D

`2 h rho g ((g +a)/(g -a))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

When a beaker containing a liquid of density `rho` moves up with an acceleration a, it will work as a lift moving upward with acceleration a. The effective acceleration due to gravity in lift `= (a+ g)`
`therefore` Pressure of liquid of height `h =h rho (a + g )`

A beaker containing a liquid of density rho moves up with an acceleration a . The pressure due to the liquid at a depth h below the free surface of the liquid is.

If the atompspheric pressure is P _(a) then the jpressure P at depth a below the surface of a liquid of density rho open to the atmosphere is

Assertion: Pressure on the concave side of the liquid will be greater than pressure on the convex side if the liquid surface is curved. Reason: Excess pressure depends on the angle of contact of the liquid surface with the solid surface.

An air bubble of radius 0.1 cm is in a liquid having surface tension 0.06 N/m and density 10^(3)" kgm"^(-3). The pressure inside the bubble is 1100 Nm greater than the atmospheric pressure. At what depth is the bubble below the surface of the liquid? (g = 9.8 ms^(-2))

A point source of light is placed at a depth h=0.5 m below the surface of a liquid (mu=5/4) , Then , the fraction of light energy that escape directly from the liquid surface is

A liquid is filled in a vessel and a hole is made at a depth h below the free surface of the liquid. Statement-1 : Greater is the distance of the hole form the free surface of liquid, greater will be the velocity of efflux. And Statement-2 The speed of the liquid coming out of the orifice depends on the quantity of liquid in the vessel.

The absolute pressure at a depth h below the surface of a liquid of density rho is [Given P_(a) = atmospheric pressure, g = acceleration due to gravity]
