Question

What happens when the pressure inside the bottle exceeds the atmospheric pressure?
A. The bottle burst out
B. The bottle get crushed
C. The bottle remain as it is
D. None of these

Answer 1

Hint:Pressure can be defined as force per unit length. The amount of pressure exerted on the body is equal to force exerted on the body when the region of applying pressure is one unit in length. The pressure exerted by the atmosphere on any substance is called atmospheric pressure.

Complete step by step answer:
The earth’s atmosphere consists of air which contains various gases. Since we know that gases exert pressure on the walls of the container in which it is kept. Thus we can say that earth’s atmosphere also exerts pressure on the body which is known as atmospheric pressure.

The value of atmospheric pressure is equal to \[1{\text{ atm}}\] which is also equal to \[1.013{\text{ }} \times {\text{ 1}}{{\text{0}}^5}{\text{ Pa}}\]. We also know that when the pressure inside a closed container becomes greater than pressure outside the container, then it will burst. Therefore we can say that when the pressure inside the bottle exceeds the pressure outside the bottle which is atmospheric pressure then the bottle will burst out.

Hence the correct option is A.

Note:When the pressure inside the bottle is equal to atmospheric pressure then the bottle remains as it is. Also when pressure inside the bottle is less than atmospheric pressure then it may get crushed after sometime. The S.I unit of pressure is Pascal which is denoted by \[{\text{Pa}}\]. We can convert pressure in \[{\text{atm}}\] into Pascal by multiplying it with \[1.013{\text{ }} \times {\text{ 1}}{{\text{0}}^5}{\text{ Pa}}\]. The value of atmospheric pressure can vary as we go down below sea level or above sea level. Atmospheric pressure is maximum at the earth surface.
