NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A cylindrical container is filled with water to a depth of 10 m. What is the pressure exerted by the water at the bottom of the container? (Take the density of water as 1000 kg/m³ and g = 10 m/s²)

A

01 x 10^5 Pa

B

01 x 10^5 Pa

C

5 x 10^5 Pa

D

5 x 10^5 Pa

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The pressure at the bottom due to the water column is calculated by P = ρgh. Substituting ρ = 1000 kg/m³, g = 10 m/s², and h = 10 m, we get P = 1000 x 10 x 10 = 1.0 x 10^5 Pa. Adding atmospheric pressure, P = 2.01 x 10^5 Pa.
