Given below are two statements: Statement \(I :\) Pressure in a reservoir of water is same at all points at the same level of water. Statement \(II :\) The pressure applied to enclosed water is transmitted in all directions equally. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A Statement \(I\) is false but Statement \(II\) is true
- B Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are true
- C Statement \(I\) is true but Statement \(II\) is false
- D Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are false
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are true
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Pressure in a static liquid will be same at each point on same horizontal level. \(\therefore P=P_{a m}+\rho g h\) As per Pascal law, same pressure applied to enclosed water is transmitted in all directions equally.
