Question
A beaker containing a liquid is kept inside a big closed jar. If the air inside the jar is continuously pumped out the pressure in the liquid near the bottom of the liquid will:
  1. Increase
  2. Decrease
  3. Remain constant
  4. First decrease and then increase.

Answer

  1. Decrease.

Explanation:

As the air inside the jar is pumped out, the air pressure decreases. Thus, the pressure in the liquid near the bottom of the beaker decreases.
