A cylindrical vessel is filled with water as shown in the figure. Calculate the difference in pressures due to water at points A and B. (Pressure due to air is negligible, density of water `=1" g cm"^(-3)`)

A

600 Pa

B

1200 Pa

C

6 Pa

D

6000 Pa

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Given , depth of point A, `g_(A)=100" cm"=1m`
depth of point B, `h_(B)=40" cm"=0.4m`
density of water, `d=1" g cm"^(-3)=1000" kgm"^(-3)`
Pressure, `P=(F)/(A)=(mg)/(A)=("volume "xx" density "xxg)/("area of cross section")`
`=(pir^(2)h xx d xx g)/(pir^(@))=hdg`
At .A., `P_(A)=h_(A)"dg"=1xx1000xx10=10,000" Pa"`
At .B., `P_(B)=h_(B)"dg"=0.4xx1000xx10=4000" Pa"`
The difference in pressure, `P_(B)-P_(A)=10,000-4,000=6,000" Pa"`
Hence, the correct option is (d).
