Is a liquid difficult to compress or force into a smaller space?

Yes, liquids are hard to compress. That's what makes hydraulics so useful when it comes to the transfer of force. Hydraulics can lift thousands of pounds with minimal effort.

Why it is difficult to lift a large stone on the surface of the earth but easy to lift a smaller one?
Large stone has more mass compare to a small one. And mass is directly proportional to weight where 'g' is constant for every object on earth. As a result larger stone has more weight than that of smaller. That's why it is difficult to lift larger stone on the surface of the earth but easier to lift a smaller one.
How do you separate insoluble substances from a liquid?
Gently force the liquid through a permeable membrane (such as filter paper)whose pores are smaller than the particle size of the insoluble solid you wish to remove from the solution.
Does the boiling point of a liquid decreases increases or stay the same if the intermolecular force increases?
Generally, the boiling point of a liquid increases if the intermolecular force, i.e. pressure, increases.
How do you find the net force when two forces act in opposite directions?
by subbracting
Is Buoyancy an upward force exerted by a fluid on a body placed in the fluid?
False. It is an upward force, that (partly) counteracts the downward force of gravity for objects within a liquid. It is related to the resistance (to displacement) by the liquid molecules.
What is to squeeze gas into a smaller space called?
We usually apply the term compression to the act of squeezing a fluid to force it into a smaller volume or increase its pressure. The term applies to gases as well as fluids.
Does packaged water need ullage?
Since liquids when expanding will generate some force, and the liquid cannot compress, it would be dangerous to not allow some ullage space in the container above the liquid. Some gas above the liquid can easily compress, and absorb the (thermal) expansion of the liquid.
As a gas is compressed in a cylinder does its volume decrease?
"Force the substance into a smaller volume" is pretty much the definition of "compress".
Which states of matter are virtually incompressible to smaller volume?
You can force gas into a smaller volume, and it will expand to fill any container you put it in.
What force is used in force meters?
Newtonian force The amount of force is measured by its ability to stretch or compress a spring.
What is the other word for a push or a pull?
compress
Why can't solid be compressed?
Solids CAN be compressed but, compared to gasses, it's very difficult to tell. Solids, like liquids, are more difficult to compress than gasses because their atoms are much closer together and impart proportionally more force on each other
What is the relationship of buoyant force and density of liquid?
Buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. as the density of the liquid increases, the Buoyant force increases.
Does alcohol affect buoyancy?
Of course it does. Alcohol has a density of around 0.8 g/ml while water is pratically 1. Using old Archimedes the force from buoyance is equal to the weight of the liquid that is "moved"by the object being floated - so smaller density, smaller force.
What is buyont force?
As a body gets immersed in the liquid then equal volume of the liquid is displaced. The weight of this displaced liquid would offer an upward force tending to push the immersed body out of the liquid. This force is known to be BUOYANT FORCE.
Is buoyant force a contact force?
The buoyant force is a contact force, exerted by contact with a liquid that displaces the liquid within a gravity field. No contact, no force.
What is the upward force in the liquid?
The Buoyant Force
