NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about pressure in fluids is correct?
The pressure in a fluid at rest increases with depth.
Pressure in a fluid at rest is the same at all points regardless of depth.
The pressure difference between two points in a fluid depends solely on the height difference.
Pressure in a fluid at rest is affected by the shape of the container.
