  2. B the pressure on the bottom of tank (I) is smaller than at the bottom of \((I)\)
  3. C the pressure depend on the shape of the container
  4. D the pressure on the bottom of (I) and (II) is the same
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) the pressure on the bottom of (I) and (II) is the same

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The pressure applied at the bottom of a container by a liquid column of height \(h\) is given by \(p=h \rho g\) Here, in two cases, the liquid used is same (water), so \(\rho\) is same. Also, the height of liquid column is same on both. So, the pressure applied at the bottom is…
