Question

Here are the containers filled with the liquid of density d. In which
Pressure is more in the above case. Give reason to support your​

Answer 1

Given:

Two containers of different shape have been filled with liquid of density d upto a height of h.

To find:

In which case , pressure is more at the bottom of the container.

Calculation:

The general expression for pressure exerted by a liquid column is given as follows:

$\boxed{ \sf{ P= d \times g \times h}}$

Here , d = density , h = height of column and g = Gravity.

This equation proves that when same liquid is placed in two different containers of same height there will be equal pressure at the bottom of both the containers.

• This also proves that shape of a container does not determine the pressure at any depth or bottom.

• It is the height and density of liquid that determines the pressure.

So, final answer is:

Pressure will be equal in both containers at the bottom.
