    A wooden object floats in water kept in a beaker. The object is near a side of the beaker. Let P1, P2, P3 be the pressures at the three points A, B and C of bottom as shown in the figure.

    Figure

    (a) P1 = P2 = P3
    (b) P1 < P2 < P3
    (c) P1 > P2 > P3
    (d) P2 = P3 ≠ P1
    digAnsr:   a
    Ans : (a) P1 = P2 = P3
    If the fluid is in equilibrium, then the pressure is the same at all points in the same horizontal level.
