Question

Ignoring effects caused by differences in depth, the pressure in a contained fluid is __________.

a. the same throughout the fluid


b. higher in some places and lower in other places


c. unknown as long as the fluid is contained

Answer 1

The correct option is "a", that is the same throughout the fluid.
The pressure in a contained fluid is the same throughout the fluid.
We can define pressure as the force per unit area.
we can write its formula as;
P = F/A
where F is the force and A is the area.
