The research subjects consisted of 103 pre-service teachers of physics at a university in Malang. The instrument used consisted of five fluid concept questions. The results showed that there were two main misconceptions, namely misconception in determining the pressure on a sinking object and determining the pressure on the U pipe. © 2021 Author(s).
