Question

Derive an expressuon for pressure exerted by liquid column

Answer 1

Answer:

Pressure exerted by ideal gases in confined containers is due to the average number of collisions of gas molecules with the container walls per unit time. As such, pressure depends on the amount of gas (in number of molecules), its temperature, and the volume of the container.

Answer 2

☆$\red {HELLO\:DEAR}$☆

Consider an imaginary cuboid of area of cross-section a of liquid with upper and lower cap passing through A and B respectively in order to evaluate the pressure difference between points A and B.

Volume of the imaginary cylinder is, V = ah

Mass of liquid of imaginary cylinder, m = ρah

Let, P1 and P2 be the pressure on the upper and lower face of cylinder.

Forces acting on the imaginary cylinder are:

(i) Weight, mg = ρahg in vertically downward direction.

(ii) Downward thrust of F1 =P1a on upper cap.

(iii) Upward thrust of F2 = P2a on lower face.

As the imaginary cylinder in the liquid is in equilibrium, therefore the net force on the cylinder is zero.
