if you are asking in which direction does a liquid exert pressure on the object? then, liquid exert force in the upward direction which is called buoyancy.
Brief description:
when a body is partially or wholly immersed, it displaces the fluid. the displaced fluid had tendency to regain it's original position position. due to this, an upward force is exerted on the body by the displaced fluid. this upward force actiong on the the body immersed in a fluid is called upward thrust or buoyancy force or simply buoyancy.

How does the pressure exerted by a liquid vary with direction and depth?
The pressure exerted by a liquid increases with depth. This is known as hydrostatic pressure and is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. The pressure variation with direction is isotropic, meaning it is the same regardless of the direction taken in the liquid.
What direction does pressure act on an object?
Downward or inward if the pressure comes from being submerged in a fluid.
Why lighter liquid is used in inveted in U tube manometer?
-heavy liquid will try to fall down due to act of gravitational force. -thus heavy liquid will act pressure on fluid in tube -it will be problem in measuring accurate pressure So..
Which forces act mostly in a horizontal direction?
The acceleration of a automobile will be in a horizontal direction.
When the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the air pressure in the room what will the liquid do?
The liquid starts boiling

How does pressure exerted by a solid object on a surface differ from pressure exerted within a liquid or gas?
In a liquid or gas the pressure at any given point is the same in all directions. In a solid the pressure can vary depending on direction. So, for example, the vertical pressure can be greater or less than the horizontal pressure.

Under what circumstances a fluid exerts equal pressure in all direction?
Any liquid exerts equal pressure in all directions.
How does pressure exerted by a solid object on a surface differ from pressure exerted within a liquid or a gas?
The pressure exerted by a solid object is in only one direction.
How does pressure exerted by a solid object on a surface differ from pressure exerted within a gas or liquid?
The pressure exerted by a solid object is in only one direction.
Does the buoyant force act in all ways?
No buoyant force would act only in the upward direction against the weight of the body as it gets immersed in the liquid.
Which forces act mostly in a horizontal direction?
The acceleration of a automobile will be in a horizontal direction.
What is the relationship between liquid pressure and the depth of a liquid between liquid pressure and density?
pressure of liquid on bottom=density*gravitational force*depth :)
When the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the air pressure in the room what will the liquid do?
The liquid starts boiling
How do pressure differences affect the direction in which fluids flow?
Were liquid is more, you have more pressure. Liquids, and gasses flow from higher pressure areas to lower pressure areas, like people in a bus. If it's crowded is a place, they go were it's less crowded.
