Question

An object of uniform density is allowed to float in water kept in a beaker. The object has triangular cross-section as shown in the figure. If the water pressure measured at the three points A, B and C below the object are `P_(A), P_(B) " and " P_(C )` respectively. Then

A. `p_(A) gt p_(B) gt p_(C )`
B. `p_(A) gt p_(B) lt p_(C )`
C. `p_(A) =p_(B)=p_(C )`
D. `p_(A)=p_(B) lt p_(C )`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
In horizontal idrection, pressure remains constant unless the fluid volume is accelerated.
