Question 7

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Pressure in a reservoir of water is same at all points at the same level of water.
Statement II: The pressure applied to enclosed water is transmitted in all directions equally.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Statement I: Pressure in a reservoir of water is same at all points at the same level of water.

This is true. This follows from the hydrostatic pressure principle: $$P = P_0 + \rho gh$$, which is the same for all points at the same depth (same level).

Statement II: The pressure applied to enclosed water is transmitted in all directions equally.

This is true. This is Pascal's law - pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions.

Both statements are true.

The correct answer is Option 4.
