Vedclass · Answer

(B) The pressure $P$ at the base of a vessel containing a liquid of density $\rho$ at a height $h$ is given by the formula $P = h \rho g$,where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.Since the height $h$ is the same for all three vessels and $g$ is constant,the pressure $P$ is directly proportional to the density $\rho$ of the liquid $(P \propto \rho)$.Given the densities are in the order $\rho_A > \rho_B > \rho_C$,it follows that the pressure at the base will be maximum for the liquid with the highest density.Therefore,the pressure is maximum in vessel $A$.

Three identical vessels are filled to the same height with three different liquids $A, B$ and $C$ $(\rho_A > \rho_B > \rho_C)$. The pressure at the base will be
