MCQ
Equal mass of three liquids are kept in three identical cylindrical vessels $A, B$ and $C$. The densities are $P_A, P_B, P_C$ with $P_A$
- AMaximum in vessel $A$.
- BMaximum in vessel $B$.
- CMaximum in vessel $C$.
- ✓Equal in all the vessels.
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Equal in all the vessels.
The force on the base is given by:
$F = hpg \times A$
$\Rightarrow F = (hpg)g$
$\Rightarrow F = ($volume $\times$ density$) \times g$
$\Rightarrow F = mg$
In the question, the masses are equal.
So, the force on the base is the same in all cases.
$F = hpg \times A$
$\Rightarrow F = (hpg)g$
$\Rightarrow F = ($volume $\times$ density$) \times g$
$\Rightarrow F = mg$
In the question, the masses are equal.
So, the force on the base is the same in all cases.
