Which of the following statements is not true about the properties of pressure in a liquid? Pressure ____________
A. at any point in a liquid is at right angle in all directions. B. is the same at all points on the same horizontal plane in a liquid. C. decreases with height, and independent of shape and volume of the container. D. is dependent on the shape and volume of the container
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
pressure \(P\) at a depth \(h\) in a liquid of density is given by \(P=\rho_{0}+\rho h g\) \(\rho_{0}=\) atmospheric pressure but when \({ }_{0}\) is not acting, then \(P=h g\) which shows that pressure increases with depth and also it decreases with height, \((P \alpha h)\).
