NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids MCQ Question
A cylindrical container has a base area of 0.5 m² and contains water up to a height of 2 m. Given the density of water is 1000 kg/m³ and acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s², what is the pressure at the bottom of the container?
9800 Pa
19600 Pa
5000 Pa
4900 Pa
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The pressure at the bottom of the fluid is given by P = Pₐ + ρgh. Assuming atmospheric pressure Pₐ is negligible, P = 1000 kg/m³ * 9.8 m/s² * 2 m = 19600 Pa.
