Vedclass · Answer

(D) The pressure $P$ at the bottom of a vessel filled with a liquid of density $\rho$ to a height $h$ is given by the formula: $P = \rho g h$.Since the height $h$ is the same for all three vessels and $g$ is constant, the pressure $P$ is directly proportional to the density $\rho$ of the liquid $(P \propto \rho)$.Given the densities are $\rho_A > \rho_B > \rho_C$, it follows that the pressure at the bottom of the vessels will be $P_A > P_B > P_C$.Therefore, the pressure is maximum in the vessel containing liquid $A$.

Three identical vessels are filled up to the same height with three different liquids $A, B$ and $C$ of densities $\rho_A, \rho_B$ and $\rho_C$ (where $\rho_A > \rho_B > \rho_C$). The pressure at the bottom of the vessels is:
