NEET Physics Pascal's Law MCQ Question
Consider a hydraulic lift system where a diagram shows two connected pistons of different diameters, with piston A having a smaller diameter and piston B having a larger diameter. If a force is applied on piston A, how does Pascal's Law explain the force experienced by piston B?
The pressure is transmitted equally, so piston B experiences a greater force due to its larger area.
The pressure decreases as it moves to piston B, resulting in less force on piston B.
The force remains the same on both pistons, regardless of their areas.
The pressure on piston B is higher, resulting in a smaller force due to its larger area.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Pascal's Law, pressure applied on a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions. Since piston B has a larger area, it experiences a greater force, consistent with the pressure being the same.
