If we want to calculate the pressure of a liquid at the bottom of a vessel, the quantity which is not required to determine it, is
-
- Height of the liquid column
- Surface area of the bottom of the vessel
- Density of the liquid
- Acceleration due to gravity at the bottom of the vessel
- Height of the liquid column
Correct Option: B
The pressure exerted by a static fluid depends only upon the depth of the fluid, the density of the fluid, and the acceleration of gravity. Static fluid pressure does not depend on the shape, total mass, or surface area of the liquid.
