NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about pressure in fluids is correct?
Gauge pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid above atmospheric pressure.
Absolute pressure is the same as gauge pressure.
The pressure in a fluid decreases with increasing depth.
Pressure is independent of the height of the fluid column in a container.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Gauge pressure is defined as the pressure above atmospheric pressure, represented as P_g = ρgh, while absolute pressure includes atmospheric pressure. Therefore, option A is correct.
