JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 9.1 fluid mechanics

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:

  1. A Statement \(I\) is false but Statement \(II\) is true
  2. B Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are true
  3. C Statement \(I\) is true but Statement \(II\) is false
  4. D Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are false
Verified Solution

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.
