Point A is at a depth h below the free surface of water and the pressure at A is PA . B is another point at an additional depth x below A and pressure at B is PB. If the atmospheric pressure is equivalent to a water column of height h, and  PB=2PA , find x.

a
2h
b
h
c
3h2
d
h2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

PA=P0+pgh, PB=P0+pgh+x∴P0+pgh+x=2P0+pgh⇒x=P0pg+h=h+h=2h
