Pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and the walls of the containing vessel. This law was first formulated by:

1. Bernoulli                               

2. Archimedes

3. Boyle                                     

4. Pascal

 A body is just floating on the surface of a liquid. The density of the body is same as that of the liquid. The body is slightly pushed down. What will happen to the body ?
1. It will slowly come back to its earlier position

2. It will remain submerged, where it is left

3. It will sink

4. It will come out violently

A cork is submerged in water by a spring attached to the bottom of a bowl. When the bowl is kept in an elevator moving with acceleration downwards, the length of spring

2. $\mathrm{\eta mg}$

3. $\frac{mg}{\mathrm{\eta }}$                                       

4. $(\mathrm{\eta }-1)\mathrm{mg}$
