Question 8 of 192

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:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (D) Both Statement II and Statement IIII are true

Pressure in a static fluid will be same at each point on same horizontal level.
P=P0+ρghP={P}_{0}+\rho gh
where
P0{P}_{0} 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.
