When a fluid fills a closed container, it exerts pressure

• only on the bottom of the container

• only on the sides of the container

• only on particles within the fluid

• everywhere inside the container

Fluids exert pressure because they

• contain force particles

• are confined to small area

• have constantly moving particles

• all of these are correct

• 20.4 Pa

• 2.04 x 10³ Pa

• 2.04 x 10² Pa

• 2.04 x 10⁵ Pa

• 2.04 x 10^-2 Pa

The greatest ocean depths on the Earth are found in the Marianas Trench near the Philippines. Given its depth is 11.0 km and the density of seawater is 1200 kg/m³, How do you calculate the pressure due to the ocean at the bottom of this trench.

• 1200x10x11

• 1200x11

• 1200x11000x10

• 1200x10

Two identical containers containing liquid M and liquid N with 28 cm height and 20 cm height respectively. Both containers produce the same water spurt.
If the density of liquid M is 2.0 g cm⁻³, find the density of liquid N.

• 0.70 g cm⁻³
• 1.40 g cm⁻³
• 1.43 g cm⁻³
• 2.80 g cm⁻³
