Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A : When you squeeze one end of a tube to get toothpaste out from the other end. Pascal's principle
is observed.
Reason R : A change in the pressure applied to an enclosed incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished
to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of its container.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
A is correct but R is not correct
Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
A is not correct but R is correct
Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
As per pascal’s law, when we apply pressure to an ideal liquid it is equally distributed in the entire liquid and
to the walls as well.
Since due to applied pressure, every morning, the tooth paste does not get compressed and we can safely
consider it on incompressible liquid.
Therefore both statements are true and R is correct explanation of A.
