NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A submarine is at a depth of 1000 m in seawater with a density of 1.03 × 10^3 kg/m^3. Calculate the gauge pressure experienced by the submarine. Assume g = 10 m/s^2.

A

103 × 10^5 Pa

B

104 × 10^5 Pa

C

102 × 10^5 Pa

D

105 × 10^5 Pa

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The gauge pressure is calculated using the formula P_g = ρgh. Substituting the given values: P_g = 1.03 × 10^3 kg/m^3 × 10 m/s^2 × 1000 m = 103 × 10^5 Pa.
