Question

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Pressure in a reservoir of water is same at all points at the same level of water.

Statement II: The pressure applied to enclosed water is transmitted in all directions equally.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Pressure in a static fluid will be same at each point on same horizontal level.
$P = P_{0} + ρ g h$
where $P_{0}$ is atmospheric pressure.
Pascal's law states that pressure applied to enclosed water is transmitted equally in all directions. Hence, both the statements are true and this is the right option.
