Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following factors affect the pressure at a point in a liquid? (Select all correct answers)

Show answer

Depth of the point below free surface, Density of the liquid, Acceleration due to gravity

Pressure in a liquid depends on depth (h), density (ρ), and acceleration due to gravity (g) as shown in P = hρg. The shape and area of container do not affect pressure at a point.

2true false

Pascal's law states that pressure applied to a confined liquid is transmitted equally in all directions.

Show answer

True

Pascal's law correctly states that pressure exerted anywhere in a confined liquid is transmitted equally and undiminished in all directions throughout the liquid. This principle is used in hydraulic machines.

3multiple correct

Which of the following are applications of Pascal's law? (Select all correct answers)

Show answer

Hydraulic press, Hydraulic jack, Hydraulic brakes

Hydraulic press, hydraulic jack, and hydraulic brakes all work on Pascal's law principle of pressure transmission. A simple barometer works on atmospheric pressure, not Pascal's law.

4multiple choice

Why is the wall of a dam made thicker at the bottom?

Show answer

Because water pressure increases with depth

According to P = hρg, water pressure increases with depth. Therefore, the dam wall experiences maximum pressure at the bottom and needs to be thicker to withstand this greater pressure.
