Answer» <html><body><p></p>Solution :<img src="https://d10lpgp6xz60nq.cloudfront.net/physics_images/PRE_GRG_PHY_XI_V02_C07_E01_049_S01.png" width="80%"/> <br/><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/pascal-596772" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PASCAL">PASCAL</a>'s law states that if the effect of gravity can be generated then the pressure in a fluid in equilibrium is the same everywhere.<br/> <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/let-11597" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LET">LET</a> us consider any two points A and B inside the fluid imagined. A cylinder is such that points A and B lie at the centre of the circular surface at the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/top-1422115" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TOP">TOP</a> and bottom of the cylinder. Let the fluid inside this cylinder be in equilibrium under the action of forces from <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/outside-1143075" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OUTSIDE">OUTSIDE</a> the fluid. The forces <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/acting-269" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ACTING">ACTING</a> on the circular, top and bottom surfaces are perpendicular to the forces acting on the cylindrical surface. Therefore the forces acting on the faces at A and B are equal and opposite and hence add to zero.<br/>As the areas of these two faces are equal, pressure at A = pressure at B.<br/>This is the proof of Pasccal's law when the effect of gravity is not taken into account.</body></html> | |
