Important Questions on Pascal's Law
A U-tube having a horizontal arm of length , has a uniform cross-sectional area . It is filled with water of volume . The volume of a liquid of density required to be poured in one arm of the U-tube so that no water is left in the horizontal arm of the tube is (take )

A vertical uniform U tube open at both ends contains mercury. Water is poured in one limb until the level of mercury is depressed 2cm in that limb. What is the length of water column when this happens.

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:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: When you squeeze one end of a tube to get toothpaste out from the other end, Pascal’s principle is observed.
Reason R: A change in the pressure applied to an enclosed incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of its container.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

A liquid of density is filled in a vessel of cross-sectional area upto height. A block of mass and cross-sectional area is made to float in it as shown in figure. The pressure at the bottom of the vessel will be

An open U-tube contains mercury. When of water is poured into one of the arms of the tube then the mercury rise in the other arm from its initial level is

The tank shown in figure is filled with water upto a height of . Assuming the atmospheric pressure to be absent the force that the water exerts on force is equal to ( and density of water = )

The side of glass aquarium is high and long. When the aquarium is filled to the top with water, what is the total force against the side-

In rising from the bottom of a lake to top, the temperature of an air bubble remains unchanged but its diameter gets tripled. If h is barometric height expressed in meter of mercury of relative density, at the surface of lake, depth of lake in
