NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about pressure in fluids is correct?
Pressure in a fluid at rest is the same at all points in a horizontal plane.
Pressure increases linearly with height in a fluid.
The force exerted by a fluid is always parallel to the surface of an object.
The pressure at a point in a fluid depends only on the weight of the fluid above it.
