Question 1

What is the pressure variation with depth in a fluid?

  • A) It increases linearly with depth
  • B) It remains constant regardless of depth
  • C) It decreases with depth
  • D) It varies only horizontally

💡 Hint: Refer back to the hydrostatic pressure equation.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid column of height 10 m is in equilibrium. If the density of the fluid is 800 kg/m³, calculate the pressure at the base of the column.

💡 Hint: Utilize the hydrostatic pressure formula.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where a tank filled with a fluid at a density of 1200 kg/m³ has a hole on the side 5 m above the bottom. Calculate the pressure at the hole.

💡 Hint: Remember that pressure depends on the height of the fluid column above the point of measurement.
