Question
A siphon in use is demonstrated in the following figure. The density of the liquid flowing in siphon is 1.5 gm / cc. The pressure difference between the point P and S will be
- zero
- Infinity
The correct answer is: zero
As the both points are at the surface of liquid and these points are in the open atmosphere. So both point possess similar pressure and equal to 1 atm. Hence the pressure difference will be zero.
