Best Answer

The horizontal dimensions of the container ... like length and width ... don't make any

difference. But the pressure at the bottom is directly proportional to the depth of the

liquid, which is ultimately limited by the height of the container.

What is the velocity of the container from which liquid is coming out from hole at its bottom?

This question does not provide enough information on the relevant parameters to even attempt an answer. One would assume that if the hole is at the bottom of the container (and not on the side at the bottom) and the liquid is coming out of the hole only due to gravity that the the container would remain stationary. If there is internal pressure in the container, then the initial pressure becomes important as does the time since the water began to flow. If the hole is on the side of the container, then friction between the container and the surface it is resting on become significant. If the container is not circular in cross section, then the location of the hole along the side helps determine whether the container moves laterally or spins.


What is decanting?

'''''Decantation''''' is a fast method for separating a mixture of a liquid and a heavier solid. In this process , first the solid impurities are allowed to sediment at the bottom of the container. Then, the pure liquid is poured out carefully from the container into another container. The precipitate or solid is left behind at the bottom of the container.


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 :)

What is ferrostatic pressure?

The pressure exerted by the pressure head of liquid steel in a container at bottom surface of the container is known as ferro static pressure.


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.


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

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.
