NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids MCQ Question
What is the pressure exerted by a liquid at a depth h, according to the formula P = ρgh?
It is directly proportional to the density of the liquid.
It is independent of the liquid's density.
It decreases with increasing depth.
It is constant regardless of depth.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the formula P = ρgh, the pressure exerted by a liquid at a depth h is directly proportional to the density of the liquid (ρ), the acceleration due to gravity (g), and the height of the liquid column (h).
