Question

In the adjoining figure at which point is the pressure maximum?
(a) At point A
(b) At point B
(c) At point C
(d) At point D​

Answer 1

The correct option is d) at point D

Explanation:

Since, we know from fluid dynamics that for a fluid that is of same nature and static layers place one above the other, the pressure increases as we move downwards.

Thus point A will have less pressure than B

Point B will have less pressure than point C

And point C will have less pressure than D

Hence, Pressure will be maximum at point D

Answer 2

•In the adjoining figure

the maximum pressure is

(d) At point D

•Water pressure is highest at this point because in this case the upward pressure at point D is higher than other points. And that is why it is understandable by looking at the picture that the rate of water emission at the point D is higher than that of the other points.
