A-LevelPhysicsForces, density and pressureOct/Nov 2022Paper 1 Q161 Mark
The diagram shows two vessels, P and Q, both with sides inclined at 45° to the horizontal. [Figure showing vessel P tapering outwards and vessel Q tapering inwards] Vessel P tapers outwards and vessel Q tapers inwards, as shown. Both vessels contain a liquid. The depth of the liquid in the vessels is the same. The liquid in vessel P is twice as dense as the liquid in vessel Q. What is the ratio pressure due to the liquid on the base of P / pressure due to the liquid on the base of Q ?
A2/1
B√2/1
C1/√2
D1/2
