which of the below conditions will NOT affect the pressure of fluid?

I. Density of the liquid.
II. Acceleration due to gravity.
III. Type of container of the liquid.
IV. The constituents of the liquid.

A. I and III only
B. II and III only
C. III and IV only
D. I and II only

Correct Answer:

Option C – III and IV only

Explanation

pressure in fluid is given by P = hpg.
∴ fluid pressure depends on the height of the liquid column, h, density of liquid p, and acceleration of free fall g. it is therefore independent of type of container and constituents of the liquid
