Consider a vessel filled with a liquid upto height H. The bottom of the vessel lies in the X-Y plane passing through the origin. The density of the liquid varies with Z-axis as ρz=ρ02-zH2. If P1 and P2 are the pressures at the bottom surface and top surface of the liquid, the magnitude of P1-P2 is :

  1. A ρ0gH
  2. B 85ρ0gH
  3. C 32ρ0gH
  4. D 53ρ0gH
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 53ρ0gH

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, PZ=ρ02-ZH2 Let a small column of liquid thickness be dz. Pressure due to column, dP1=ρ02-ZH2gdz+P2 P1=∫0πρ02-ZH2gdz+P2 =ρ0g∫0π2-Z2H2dz+P2' =ρ0g2H-13H2H3+P2 P1=ρ0g2H-H3+P2 P1-P2=ρ0g5H3=53ρ0gH
