Two copper vessels

A

and

B

have the same
base area but of different shapes.

A

take twice
the volume of water as that

B

requires to fill
upto a particular common height. Then the
correct statement among the following is:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Pressure on the base area of vessels

A

and

B

is same

Option B (Pressure on the base area of vessels A and B is same) is correct because the pressure at the bottom of a liquid column depends only on the height and density of the liquid, which are the same for both vessels.

poise. A liquid rises to a height of 2 cm in a capillary tube. The angle of contact between the solid and the liquid is zero. The tube is depressed more so that the top of capillary tube is only one cm above the liquid. Then the apparent angle of contact between the solid and liquid is An object weights
