Vedclass · Answer

(C) The pressure $P$ at a depth $h$ in a liquid of density $\rho$ is given by the formula $P = h\rho g$,where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.From this formula,it is clear that the pressure depends on the height of the liquid column $(h)$,the density of the liquid $(\rho)$,and the acceleration due to gravity $(g)$.It does not depend on the area of the bottom surface of the tank.Therefore,the correct option is $C$.

The pressure at the bottom of a tank containing a liquid does not depend on
