Consider two identical containers A and B. Container Ais filled with oil to a depth 0.7 h while the other container (B)is filled with water to a depth of 0.5h. Which of the following is TRUE about the pressure at thebottom of the containers? A) The pressure at the bottom of container B is abouthalf that of container A B) The pressure at the bottom of container A is abouttwice that of container B C) The pressures at the bottom of the two containers isabout the same. D) Not enough information Consider two identical containers A and B. Container Ais filled with oil to a depth 0.7 h while the other container (B)is filled with water to a depth of 0.5h. Which of the following is TRUE about the pressure at thebottom of the containers? A) The pressure at the bottom of container B is abouthalf that of container A B) The pressure at the bottom of container A is abouttwice that of container B C) The pressures at the bottom of the two containers isabout the same. D) Not enough information
Explanation / Answer
Absolute Pressure at the bottom of the container P =Atmospheric pressure + gH where = density of the liquid H= height of the liquid If you known density of the oil filled in container A then wecompare the pressures at the bottom of the containers. So, answer is : Not enough information
