A dam for water reservoir is built thicker at the bottom than at the top because:
- pressure of water is very large at the bottom due to its large depth
- water is likely to have more density at the bottom due to its large depth
- quantity of water at the bottom is large
- none of the above
Answer
(A) pressure of water is very large at the bottom due to its large depth
