MCQ
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:

  • A
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
  • Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
  • C
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
  • D
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
b
Pressure in a static liquid will be same at each point on same horizontal level.

$\therefore P=P_{a m}+\rho g h$

As per Pascal law, same pressure applied to enclosed water is transmitted in all directions equally.
