Question

What describes the pressure in a contained fluid

a) higher in some places nd lower In other places
b) the same throughout the fluid
c) unknown as long as the fluid is contained
​

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. I just took the test 4.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

a) higher in some places nd lower In other places

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure in a fluid is given by the law

`p=p_0 + \rho g h`

where

`p_0` is the atmospheric pressure

`\rho` is the fluid's density

`g` is the acceleration of gravity

h is the depth at which the pressure is calculated

As we see, the pressure depends on the value of h (depth): therefore, points which are located at more depth experience a larger pressure than points located near the fluid's surface.
