A liquid is kept in a regular cylindrical vessel up to a certain height. If this vessel is replaced by another cylindrical vessel having half the area of cross-section of the bottom, the pressure on the bottom will
General KnowledgePhysics
- Aremain unaffected
- Bbe reduced to half the earlier pressure
- Cbe increased to twice the earlier pressure
- Dbe reduced to one-fourth the earlier pressure
Explanation
With the same liquid volume in half the base area, height doubles; pressure = hdg, so it doubles.
