Exactly right! As long as there's a 'net' force ... that means anything left over that's

not zero after all the forces present are added up.

So let's not forget the Newton's law that says that there's an equal and opposite

reaction for every action.

In this particular case, the action is the force that the liquid exerts on the container,

and the reaction is an equal and opposite force that the container exerts on the liquid.

The two forces are equal and opposite, so they add up to zero. There's no net force

where they meet, so nothing accelerates.

If the force of the liquid is so great that the material of the container can't provide

an equal, opposite reaction, then the material of the container falls apart, and the

liquid accelerates all over the place.

What is exerting pressure?

Force exerts pressure. For example: At the surface of the Earth the column of air in the atmosphere above an area has a mass that exerts a force (due to gravity) on that surface area.


Why does a liquid flow at longer distance when a hole is made at the centre of the container?

because liquid exerts more pressure more at the bottom tan at the top


How gas exerts pressure on the side of its container?

The molecules of the gas are in constant motion and their collisions with the sides of the container exerts a force which is felt as pressure.


How do fluids exert pressure on a container?

Fluids are constantly trying to spread out, and that exerts pressure on the container you put it in.


Why liquid storage tanks are made thick near the bottom?

Because weight exerts pressure as it 'accumulates'. There is little weight at the top of the container, but as gravity attracts the liquid towards the bottom of the container, so the pressure is greatest there. Put some water into a balloon and see where the pressure of the water pushes on the skin of the balloon.


Relationship between liquid pressure and density?

If you were submerged in a liquid more dense than water, the pressure would be correspondingly greater. The pressure due to a liquid is precisely equal to the product of weight density and depth. liquid pressure = weight density x depth. also the pressure a liquid exerts against the sides and bottom of a container depends on the density and the depth of the liquid.


Under what circumstances a fluid exerts equal pressure in all direction?

Any liquid exerts equal pressure in all directions.


How does a gas exert pressue on the container in which it is being held?

A gas exerts pressure on the container because it is bouncing off the walls of the container at a certain force. The greater the force is the greater the pressure.


The pressure a fluid in a closed container exerts can be increased by thrust?

Yes it can because of the movement...


What causes the pressure that a gas exerts on the wall of its container?

Kinetic theory explains the pressure that a gas exerts on the walls of its container. This describes elastic collisions between the atoms or molecules in the gas with the container's walls, which collectively exert a measureable pressure.


What is exerted when an object is submerged in a fluid and the fluid pushes in on the object?

We say the liquid exerts pressure on the object.


What is the average amount of motion of each particle of substance?

average kinetic energy means the pressure that it exerts on the walls of the container if it is contained in it .
