The pressure at the bottom of a tank of water is 3 P where P is the atmospheric pressure. If the water is drawn out till the level of water is lowered by one-fifth, the pressure at the bottom of the tank will now be
Options
- A2 P
- B13 5 P
- C8 5 P
- D4 5 P
Correct answer
B. 13 5 P
Step-by-step solution
P + h ρ g = 3 P h ρ g = 2 P ...(1) P ′ = P + 4 5 h ρ g ...(2) From (1) and (2) P ′ = P + 4 5 × 2 P ⇒ P ′ = 1 3 P 5
