The pressure on the other sides and everywhere inside the vessel will be according to the:

Correct answer: A. Pascal's Law

  • A. Pascal's Law
  • B. Hooke's Law
  • C. Boyle's Law
  • D. Charles's Law

Explanation

Explanation:By Pascal's law, pressure on each side of the container and everywhere in the container is the same provided the density of the gas is uniform. Hooke's law is related to the deformation of a solid object due to the application of an external force, and does not apply to fluids in vessels. Boyle's law and Charles' law both describe the behaviour of gases under specific conditions, and are not directly related to the pressure inside a vessel containing a fluid.

About Fluid Flow

Fluid flow covers pressure, density, viscosity and the motion of liquids and gases through pipes or open channels. It includes the continuity equation, Bernoulli equation, streamline and turbulent flow, and the effects of changing area, height and speed. Viscosity and ideal fluid assumptions must not be confused with pressure effects.
