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 effect does the size of the container have on the pressure of the liquid at its bottom?

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 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.


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.


Do you read a miniscus from top to bottom or bottom to top?

You read a meniscus from the bottom to the top by looking at the lowest point of the curved surface of a liquid in a container. This is where the measurement is taken for volume.


How can a liquid take the same shape as the bottom of its container?

Because in a liquid, the molecules are free to slide past each other; thus, the liquid doesn't have a fixed shape. When there is gravity, the individual parts of the liquid will tend to go down - until it meets something that holds it back, like the container.Read more: Why_does_a_liquid_takes_the_shape_of_a_container

What is loading and flooding point in packed column?

Flooding point is the point where the liquid overflows because of the high gas velocity coming from the bottom. Loading point is velocity at which absorption starts taking place.


What is a meniscus and how do you read it?

The meniscus is the curved surface of a liquid in a container. To read it, place the container at eye level and note the bottom of the curve where the liquid meets the container. Read the measurement at this point on the scale of the container to determine the volume of the liquid.

Why can liquid take the shape of the bottom of its container?

as there are less inter molecular space between them they do not have a definite shape and so the liquids do not have any shape so if we pore it to any container it takes the shape of the container.

What is called when measuring a liquid in a container and you have a parabola at the top of liquid in the container?

The curved surface at the top of a liquid in a container is called the meniscus. When measuring a liquid in a container, it's important to read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus to ensure an accurate reading.


Is vaporization the change of a liquid to a gas?

Yes, for example, If you are boiling water, the steam that is coming out of the container is the liquid that formed into a gas.


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.


Reading the volume of liquid inside the graduated cylinder?

Always read from the bottom of the meniscus (where the liquid reaches up the side of the container).
