Describe a simple experiment to show that at a given depth, a liquid exerts same pressure in all directions.
Answer
The following experiment demonstrates that at a given depth, a liquid exerts same pressure in all directions:
- Take a balloon and fill it with water.
- Tie the mouth of the balloon.
- Make holes in the balloon by inserting pins at several places in all directions.
Water comes out through each hole which shows that liquid exerts same pressure in all directions.
