Which of the following statements about pressure in fluids is correct?

A

The pressure difference between two points in a fluid depends only on the vertical distance and the density of the fluid.

B

Pressure in a fluid at rest is independent of the density of the fluid and the acceleration due to gravity.

C

The pressure exerted by a fluid increases with the increase in temperature of the fluid.

D

The pressure difference in a fluid can be ignored if the fluid is moving rapidly.

Correct Answer

Option A

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.
