Pressure in a Fluid

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Pressure in a reservoir of water is same at all points at the same level of water. Statement II: The pressure applied to enclosed water is transmitted in all directions equally. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Statement I: in a fluid at rest P=P0+ρghP = P_0 + \rho g h, so all points at the same level have the same pressure. True.
  2. Statement II: Pascal's law says pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted equally in all directions. True.
  3. So the answer is (d).
