Two holes are made on the wall and at the bottom of a cylindrical vessel. Now the two holes are closed with two corks and the vessel is filled with water. If the vessel is now allowed to fall under gravity and the two holes are opened during its flight, then state what will happen. |
| Answer» SOLUTION :We know that a BODY falling freely under gravity experiences weightlessness. So, the vessel filled with water REMAINS weightless while it is falling under gravity. Then, the upper layers of the LIQUID exert no pressure on the LOWER layers and hence there is no pressure difference in the vessel. As a result, no water will come out through the two holes. | |
