NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids MCQ Question
A cylindrical container with a base area of 0.1 m² is filled with water to a height of 5 m. What is the pressure at the bottom of the container due to the water column?
5000 N/m²
490 N/m²
50,000 N/m²
49,000 N/m²
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The pressure at the bottom of the container is calculated using P = ρgh, where ρ is the density of water (1000 kg/m³), g is the acceleration due to gravity (10 m/s²), and h is the height of the water column (5 m). Thus, P = 1000 × 10 × 5 = 50,000 N/m².
