Three liquids of equal masses are taken in three identical cubical vessels A, B and C. Their densities are \(\rho_{\mathrm{A}}, \rho_{\mathrm{B}}\) and \(\rho_{\mathrm{C}}\) respectively but \(\rho_{A} < \rho_{B} < \rho_{C}\). The force exerted by the liquid on the base of the cubical vessel is

  1. A maximum in vessel C
  2. B minimum in vessel C
  3. C the same in all the vessels
  4. D maximum in vessel \(A\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) the same in all the vessels

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Force exerted by the liquid on the base of the vessel is \(\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{mg}\)
Here, \(\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{B}}=\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{C}} \quad \therefore \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}=\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{C}}\)
