Lesson: Chapter 15 — Fluid Pressure and Its Applications

15.2. Liquid pressure 1 of 8

Question 1

A polythene bag pierced with holes all around is filled with water and held up, and water leaves through every hole. What does this establish?

The right answer is the one marked above.

That the pressure due to a liquid acts in every direction. The holes face different ways and water still leaves through all of them.

That pressure grows with depth is shown by the bottle with a row of holes from top to bottom — not by this experiment.

Answer the question to continue.
