Question 310: Properties of Matter

Question

Two copper vessels A and B have the same base area but of different shapes. A takes twice the volume of water as that B requires to fill upto a particular common height. Then the correct statement among the following is :

Accepted Answer

In hydrostatic condition,
$$P = {P_0} + \rho gh$$
Here, P : absolute pressure at depth h, P
0
is atmospheric pressure
Since, height of liquid in both vessel is same therefore pressure on the base of both vessel will be same.

Answer

Vessel B weighs twice that of A.

Answer

Pressure on the base area of vessels A and B is same.

Answer

Pressure on the base area of vessels A and B is not same.

Answer

Both vessels A and B weigh the same.
