Pressure in Liquids MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions) PDF Download

The formula for pressure in liquids is

1. p = hPg, where h is height, P is density and g is gravity
2. p = Pg/h, where P is density, g is gravity and is height
3. p = hg/P, where h is height, g is gravity and P is density
4. p = hP/g, where h is height, P is density and g is gravity

Amount of pressure of liquid increases with

1. volume
2. base area
3. mass
4. depth

Given that both liquid A and liquid B exert the same amount of pressure, what would be the height of column of liquid A if the density of liquid A is twice the density of liquid B and the height of column of liquid B is 10 cm?

1. 5 cm
2. 10 cm
3. 20 cm
4. None of the above

If pressure of a liquid is 1000 Pa and height of the liquid is 20 cm, then density of the liquid is (keeping in mind the gravitational pull of earth)

1. 50 g cm^-1
2. 5 g cm^-1
3. 100 g cm^-1
4. 0.2 g cm^-1

If density of a liquid is 20 g cm^-1, height is 4 cm and gravitational field strength is 10 N kg^-1, pressure of liquid is

1. 8 Pascal
2. 50 Pascal
3. 800 Pascal
4. 2 Pascal
