Q5 of 81 Page 271

Figure (13-Q3) shows a siphon. The liquid shown is water. The pressure difference PB — PA between the points A and B is


Here the points are present on the free surface of the liquid. Hence, the pressure at both the points is equal to the atmospheric pressure. Hence, the difference in pressure is zero.
