Pressure exerted on a surface depends on
physics pressure in liquids and gases pressure dependence on force and area concept of pressure pressure on surface

  1. Thrust

  2. Area on which thrust is applied.

  3. Both A and B

  4. None

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Pressure can be defined as force per unit area i.e. $\dfrac{Force}{Area}$. 

Hence pressure is depends on thrust (force) and the area on which the force acts (area on which thrust is applied)

As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure

physics pressure in liquids and gases pressure dependence on force and area concept of pressure pressure on surface

  1. increases.

  2. decreases.

  3. remains constant.

  4. None.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure exists due to weight of the atmosphere above it. 
As the altitude increases, the amount of atmosphere above, and hence its weight, and hence the atmospheric pressure decreases.

Which of the following ratio expresses pressure?

physics pressure in liquids and gases pressure dependence on force and area concept of pressure pressure on surface

  1. Force/area

  2. Energy/volume

  3. Energy/area

  4. Force/volume

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

We know that pressure is the force per unit area. 

So pressure $=force/area$

1000 small balls each weighing 1 g strike one sq. cm of a area per second with a velocity of 100 m/sec in a normal direction and rebound with the same velocity. The pressure on the surface (in N/m$^2$) is :

  1. $2 \times 10^3$

  2. $4 \times 10^6$

  3. $10^7$

  4. $2 \times 10^6$

Identify the following shows the application of pressure in our everyday life?

physics pressure in liquids and gases pressure dependence on force and area concept of pressure pressure on surface

  1. The blade of Ice-skating shoe is very sharp.

  2. It is easier to drive a sharp tipped nail into wood.

  3. Sharp knife cuts better.

  4. Foundation of high-rise building are kept narrow.

Show answer
Correct Option: A,B,C,D
Explanation:

(A) if we decrease the area of the ice skating blades, then we mean to say we are increasing the pressure. We actually do this to increase pressure which reduces the chances of getting slipped.

(B) same concept is applicable in this as it was in the option (a). sharp tipped nail is having less area  and therefore exerts more pressure when it is tipped. so it easily gets tipped into the wood or even into the walls.
(C) same concept is in this option as well.
(D) same concept as it was in the previous 3 options. 

Choose the correct statement from the following?

physics pressure in liquids and gases pressure dependence on force and area concept of pressure pressure on surface

  1. Pressure is same at all points in the horizontal plane.

  2. A liquid seeks its own level.

  3. The lateral pressure exerted by a liquid decreases with the increase in depth of the liquid.

  4. The upper surface of a stationary liquid is always horizontal.

Show answer
Correct Option: A,B,D
Explanation:

(a) Pressure is same at all points in the horizontal plane. (correct)
(b) A liquid seeks its own level. (correct)
(c) The lateral pressure exerted by a liquid decreases with the increase in depth of the liquid. (wrong)
(d) The upper surface of a stationary liquid is always horizontal. (correct)

For the equlibrium AB (g) $\rightleftharpoons A (g) + B(g). K _p$ is equal to four times the total pressure. Calculate the number moles of A formed if one mol of AB is taken initially

  1. $P _A > P _B > P _C$

  2. $P _A < P _B < P _C$

  3. $P _A = P _B = P _C$

  4. Deta's are insufficient to decide.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\begin{array}{l} PV=nRT \ P\propto T \ \therefore \, { T _{ A } }>{ T _{ B } }>{ T _{ C } } \ So, \ { P _{ A } }>{ P _{ B } }>{ P _{ C } } \ Hence, \ option\, \, A\, \, iscorrect\, answer. \end{array}$

A hole is made at the bottom of a tank filled with water. If total pressure at the bottom of the tank is three atmosphere, then the velocity of efflux at the bottom is (1 atm = $10^5 N/m^2$)

physics pressure in liquids and gases pressure dependence on force and area concept of pressure pressure on surface

  1. $\sqrt{400} m/s$

  2. $\sqrt{200} m/s$

  3. $\sqrt{600} m/s$

  4. $\sqrt{500} m/s$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given,

$\begin{array}{l} P=1000kg/{ m^{ 3 } } \ P=3atm=3\times { 10^{ 5 } }N/{ m^{ 2 } } \ { P _{ 0 } }=1atm={ 10^{ 5 } }N/{ m^{ 2 } } \end{array}$
Pressure due to liquid column is 
$P - {P _0} =\rho gh$
velocity of flux $V = \sqrt {2gh} $
$\begin{array}{l} V=\sqrt { 2\dfrac { { \left( { p-{ P _{ 0 } } } \right)  } }{ \rho  }  }  \ =\sqrt { \dfrac { { 2\left( { 3\times { { 10 }^{ 5 } }-{ { 10 }^{ 5 } } } \right)  } }{ { 1000 } }  }  \ =\sqrt { \dfrac { { 4\times { { 10 }^{ 5 } } } }{ { 1000 } }  }  \ =\sqrt { 400 } m/s \end{array}$
Hence,
option $A$ is correct answer.
