NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids MCQ Question
Consider a U-shaped tube filled with a liquid. The liquid is at rest and has the same height on both sides of the tube. According to Pascal's law, what can be said about the pressure at the bottom of the U-tube?
The pressure is the same at all points at the same height in the fluid.
The pressure is higher on one side of the tube due to gravitational forces.
The pressure is different at different heights in the fluid.
The pressure is dependent on the speed of the fluid.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Pascal's law, pressure in a fluid at rest is the same at all points which are at the same height. Hence, the pressure at the bottom of the U-tube is uniform.
