Question

Two connected containers have different cross sections A₁ and A₂ (A₁ < A₂). When liquid is poured in container 1, rise in container 2 is:
  1. A
    Same height as in container 1
  2. B
    Less than in container 1
    Correct
  3. C
    More than in container 1
  4. D
    Zero

Correct answer

Less than in container 1

Explanation

Volume conservation: A₁h₁ = A₂h₂. Since A₂ > A₁, h₂ < h₁. Narrower side rises more.
