Two copper vessels A and B have the same base area but of different shapes. A takes twice the volume of water as that B requires to fill upto a particular common height. Then the correct statement among the following is:
Options
- APressure on the base area of vessels A and B is same.
- BPressure on the base area of vessels A and B is not same.
- CBoth vessels A and B weigh the same.
- DVessel B weighs twice that of A.
Correct answer
A. Pressure on the base area of vessels A and B is same.
Step-by-step solution
Pressure, P =h g In above equation, represents density of water, g represents acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the vessel. As both vessels have same height and containing water, then densities are also same. Hence, the pressure on the base area of vessels A and B is same.
