NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 11

A diagram shows a cylindrical container filled with a fluid at rest. Points 1 and 2 are located at different depths within the fluid. Which of the following expressions correctly represents the pressure difference between these two points?

Question diagram
A

(P2 - P1) = ρgh

B

(P2 - P1) = ρv^2/2

C

(P2 - P1) = ρgh + ρv^2/2

D

(P2 - P1) = ρv^2/2 + ρgh

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to the NCERT context, the pressure difference between two points in a fluid at rest is given by (P2 - P1) = ρgh, where ρ is the fluid density and h is the height difference.
