The pressure at the bottom of a liquid tank is not proportional to the
Options
- AAcceleration due to gravity
- BDensity of the liquid
- CHeight of the liquid
- DArea of the liquid surface
Correct answer
D. Area of the liquid surface
Step-by-step solution
We know that Pressure = hg( ( ) ) Thus, pressure at bottom of tank is proportional to acceleration due to gravity ( g ), density of liquid ( ) and height of the liquid ( h ). The pressure is not proportional to the area of the liquid surface.
