NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about pressure in fluids is correct?
The pressure difference between two points in a fluid depends only on the vertical distance and the density of the fluid.
Pressure in a fluid at rest is independent of the density of the fluid and the acceleration due to gravity.
The pressure exerted by a fluid increases with the increase in temperature of the fluid.
The pressure difference in a fluid can be ignored if the fluid is moving rapidly.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, the pressure difference in a fluid depends on the vertical distance between the points, the mass density of the fluid, and the acceleration due to gravity, as described in the equation P = ρgh.
