Question

Equal volume of a liquid is poured into containers A and B were area of cross section of container a is doubled the area of cross section of container B if Pa and Pb are the pressures exerted at the bottom of the containers then find Pa:Pb

Answer 1

Explanation:

first of all pressure is inversely proportional to area as

P= F/A

so

for A, P=F/2A

for B, P=F/A

hence

Pa:Pb is = 1:2
