Best Answer

The force is exerted on some small area of the liquid, that you can access

without getting liquid all over the place. The (force) divided by (the area)

is the pressure you're exerting on that area. What happens is: The same

pressure appears everywhere throughout the liquid, which is really handy,

because it makes all kinds of pneumatic and hydraulic systems possible.
