MCQ
Pressure at a point inside a liquid does not depend on:
- AThe depth of the point below the surface of the liquid.
- BThe nature of the liquid.
- CThe acceleration due to gravity at that point.
- DTotal weight of fluid in the beaker.
✓
Answer
- Total weight of fluid in the beaker.
Explanation:
$\text{P}=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{A}}=\rho\text{gh}$
$\therefore$ It does not depend on the weight of fluid.
