Q79 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (10 Apr Shift 1) · Physics

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
    Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  • B
    Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  • C
    Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  • Correct answer
    D
    Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Solution

Pressure in a static fluid will be same at each point on same horizontal level.

P=P0+ρgh

where P0 is atmospheric pressure.

Pascal's law states that pressure applied to enclosed water is transmitted equally in all directions. Hence, both the statements are true and this is the right option.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
