I think C is correct bacause it is not total pressure only lateral pressure.

Sandeep said:   7 years ago
Option c is right, because it asks about pressure, not pressure intensity.

Rishi said:   6 years ago
Answer C is right.

Directly proportional to the square of depth.

C is right because lateral pressure means here total pressure.

Anir said:   8 years ago
Lateral pressure =kwh where w=unit wt.
But force=.5kwh^2.

Option D is correct. I agree with the given answer.

Amit said:   6 years ago
Here, option B for pressure.

And C for force.

Uttu said:   7 years ago
According to me, C is the correct answer.

Khadak sanjyal said:   2 years ago
I think the answer B is the right answer.
