A beaker containing a liquid is placed inside a large closed jar. If the air within the jar is continuously pumped out, the pressure in the liquid near the bottom will

Options

  1. Afirst decrease and then increase
  2. Bremain constant
  3. Cincrease
  4. Ddecrease

Correct answer

D. decrease

Step-by-step solution

The pressure at a depth hh near the bottom of the liquid is given by:

P=P0+ρghP = P_{0} + \rho g h

where P0P_{0} is the pressure of the air inside the closed jar, ρ\rho is the density of the liquid, and gg is the acceleration due to gravity.

As the air within the jar is continuously pumped out, the pressure of the air P0P_{0} above the liquid surface decreases.

Since P0P_{0} decreases and the term ρgh\rho g h remains constant (assuming the height of the liquid does not change significantly), the total pressure PP near the bottom of the liquid will decrease.
