Question 23: moderate

A tube 1 cm2 in cross-section is attached to the top of a vessel 1 cm high and of cross-section 100 cm2. Water is poured into the system filling it to a depth of 100 cm above the bottom of the vessel as shown in figure. Take g = 10 ms–2. Now,

1. Force exerted by the water against the bottom of the vessel is 100 N.
2. Weight of water in the system is 1.99 N.
3. Both (1) and (2) are correct.
4. Neither (1) nor (2) is correct.
