Option 1 : A

Concept :

Pressure 

  • It is the amount of force that is exerted on the surface.
  • Gravity causes pressure naturally.
  • Water pressure is the force created by the weight of water.
  • Water pressure can push water through pipes and hoses.

The formula for water pressure is :

Water pressure= p g h

  • p = density of water in kg.m-3
  • g = gravitational force in 9.81 m.s-2
  • h = height in m
  • SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa)

Explanation :

  • In the four glass cylinders A, B, C, D  we observe that :
  1. The stream coming out from cylinder D i.e.12 cm hole land nearest to the cylinder.
  2. The stream coming out from cylinder A i.e. 5 cm hole land farthest to the cylinder.

This phenomenon is created by different water pressure at each hole.

  • Water pressure is the force applied from the water above to the water below.
  • Because this force comes from the weight of the water, the water at the bottom receives the most water pressure.
  • High water pressure pushes the water out through the hole the strongest and therefore the stream shoots the farthest.
