The pressure P1 at the top of a dam and P2 at a depth h from the top inside water (density ρ) are related as:

  1. P1 > P2
  2. P1 = P2
  3. P1 - P2 = hρg
  4. P2 - P1 = hρg

Answer

P2 - P1 = hρg

Reason — The pressure at a point inside a liquid at a depth h is P2

P2 = pressure at the top of a dam (P1) + pressure due to liquid column

= P1 + hρg

So, P2 = P1 + hρg

Hence,

P2 - P1 = hρg
