Question

Question 3. Observe the figure given below carefully.
Volume of water in each vessel is shown above. Arrange them in order of decreasing pressure at the base of each vessel.
Explain the reason.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct decreasing order of vessels is  D>B>A>C

Explanation:

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
