Answer to Problem 1FC

The correct option is, “(b) All the three containers have the same pressure at the bottom”.

Explanation of Solution

According to the expression to calculate the pressure at a depth, P2=P1+ρgh , the pressure at the bottom of the container that is P2 directly depends on the height of the fluid present above it. According to the given question, the height of all three containers is the same; therefore, the pressure at the bottom in all the three containers will be the same.

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct option is, “(b) All the three containers have the same pressure at the bottom”.
