NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids MCQ Question with Solution

What is the pressure difference between two points in a fluid at rest, if the height difference between the points is 5 meters and the fluid density is 1000 kg/m³?

A

49000 Pa

B

5000 Pa

C

10000 Pa

D

9800 Pa

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The pressure difference is given by $\Delta P = \rho gh$ . Substituting $\rho = 1000 \text{ kg/m}^3$ , $g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2$ , and $h = 5 \text{ m}$ , we find $\Delta P = 1000 * 9.8 * 5 = 49000 \text{ Pa}$ .
