Question

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:

Correct answer: D. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Pressure in a static fluid will be same at each point on same horizontal level.

$P = {P}_{0} + ρgh$

where ${P}_{0}$ is atmospheric pressure.

Pascal's law states that pressure applied to enclosed water is transmitted equally in all directions. Hence, both the statements are true and this is the right option.
