Question

Observe the figure given below carefully and arrange them in the order of decreasing pressure at the base of each vessel. Explain your answer with valid reasoning.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The pressure at the base of each vessel is given by ρgh where ρ is a density of water, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of water column in that vessel.

So pressure at a base is directly proportional to the height of water level.

So decreasing order of pressure is D>B>A>C
