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.

How does the area of the bottom of a container of fact the downward pressure of a liquid?

The area of the bottom of a container affects the downward pressure of a liquid by distributing the weight of the liquid over that area. Pressure is defined as force per unit area; thus, for a given weight of liquid, a larger bottom area results in lower pressure, while a smaller area leads to higher pressure. This relationship is crucial in fluid mechanics and influences how fluids behave in different containers. Ultimately, the total downward pressure exerted by the liquid is equal to the weight of the liquid divided by the area of the container's base.


How does pressure due to a liquid held in a container vary with depth amount and shape and size of the container?

Pressure due to a liquid increases with depth because of the weight of the liquid above it. The pressure in a liquid is the same at a given depth regardless of the shape or size of the container, as long as the depth is the same. The shape and size of the container would only affect the pressure at different depths in the liquid.


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 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 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 does not effect the pressure at a point beneath the surface of a liquid?

The shape of the container, the size of the container, and the density of the liquid do not affect the pressure at a point beneath the surface of a liquid. The pressure at a point in a liquid is only dependent on the depth of the point and the density of the liquid above it.


Why liquid pressure greatest in bottom?

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.


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 do densities of liquids compare to their position in their container?

In general, liquids tend to have higher densities at the bottom of a container and lower densities at the top. This is because of the effect of gravity causing denser liquid to sink to the bottom and less dense liquid to rise to the top.
