Q:

The pressure of a fluid varies with depth h as P = PQ+pgh, where p is the fluid density. This expression is associated with

A) Pascal’s law B) Newton’s law
C) Bernoulli’s principle D) Archimedes’ principle
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Pascal’s law

Explanation:

Q:

The capacity of a water heater is measured in

A) Gallons B) Liters
C) Meters D) Both A & B
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Both A & B

Explanation:

The capacity of a water heater is measured in Gallons or Liters. In the USA, it is measured in Gallons and in India, we measure it in Liters.

Hence, if the capacity of the water heater is 15 gallons or 15 liters, then it says that it can hold 15 gallons or 15 liters of water.
