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:
(1) Statement I and Statement II are true
(2) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
(3) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
(4) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- Statement I and Statement II are true
- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Correct answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Solution
Both statements accurately describe fundamental principles of fluid mechanics: pressure at a given depth in a fluid is uniform in all directions (Statement I), and any pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally throughout the fluid (Statement II).
