The pressure at the bottom of a liquid tank is not proportional to the
- A Acceleration due to gravity
- B Density of the liquid
- C Height of the liquid
- D Area of the liquid surface
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Area of the liquid surface
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
We know that
Pressure = hg( \(\rho \) )
Thus, pressure at bottom of tank is proportional to acceleration due to gravity \( \mathrm{g} \), density of liquid \( \rho \) and height of the liquid \( \mathrm{h} \). The pressure is not proportional to the area of the liquid surface.
Pressure = hg( \(\rho \) )
Thus, pressure at bottom of tank is proportional to acceleration due to gravity \( \mathrm{g} \), density of liquid \( \rho \) and height of the liquid \( \mathrm{h} \). The pressure is not proportional to the area of the liquid surface.
