Best Answer

Because above the bottom most layer there is maximum height of the liquid stands on. Also the expression for the pressure is hdg.

h- height of the liquid. d-density of the liquid. g-acceleration due to gravity.

Hence maximum h leads to max 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.

What would the pressure be in a liquid contained in a vertical tube sealed at the top with a submerged open bottom be?

It would be the same as the pressure in the liquid outside the tube at the open end- the deeper it is in the liquid, the higher the pressure.


Why liquid rushes faster at the bottom hole than the tops?

liquid rushes faster at the bottom hole than tops because pressure in liquids is directly proportional to the height of the liquid.that is the deeper the liquid the higher the pressure
