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.
What doesnot cause the height of mercury column to vary?
A change in the material of the container holding the mercury does not cause the height of the mercury column to vary. The height of the mercury column is determined by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the mercury in the container.
A tank with a flat bottom is filled with water to height of 3.5 meters what is the pressure at any point at the bottom of the tank?
Pressure is given by the formula P = h * d * g Here h is the depth or height of surface right from bottom. Given as 3.5 m d = density of water i.e. 1000 kg/m^3 g = 9.8 m/s^2 You could plug and get the value of P at bottom in pascal
How does the pressure of a liquid depend on its depth?
consider an enclosed container with liquid filled to the brim, the pressure at any point in the container due to the liquid is given by this formula Pressure = height x density x acceleration due to gravity, and the height we are using here is not the height of this point above the ground, but instead it is the height difference (or simply length) between this point and the top of container, as we are measuring the pressure at this point due to the liquid above. similarly, you can consider a container that is not enclosed but you must remember to include the atmostpheric pressure into the total pressure at the particular point you are measuring. hope this helps =)
Would water pressure be the same at the same depth in two containers that had very different shapes?
Yes, water pressure at the same depth is determined by the height of the water column, not the shape of the container. As long as the depth is the same in both containers, the water pressure will be equal.
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.

How many ounces of sand fit into a container 4 inches in height?
It depends on the volume of the container in question. A container could be 4 inches in height but could be 40,000 cubic inches.
Why is the downward pressure of water at the bottom of a vessel independent of the shape of that vessel?
The downward pressure of water at the bottom of a vessel is determined solely by the height of the water column above it and the density of the water, as described by the hydrostatic pressure equation: ( P = \rho g h ). This means that regardless of the vessel's shape, the pressure at the bottom depends only on how deep the water is, not on the vessel's width or contour. Therefore, as long as the height of the water remains constant, the pressure at the bottom will also remain constant, independent of the vessel's shape.
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 equation to find out the volume of a container?
it depends on what type of container it is. for a cylinder its: radius squared time pi times height. for a rectangular prism its length times height times width.
How much pressure in a 100 mm diameter vertical pipe with 40 meters height?
It depends on whether the pipe is open or closed and what it contains. If the pipe is full of water to a height of 40 m and open at the top, the pressure at the bottom is about 57 psig. The diameter doesn't matter.
What doesnot cause the height of mercury column to vary?
A change in the material of the container holding the mercury does not cause the height of the mercury column to vary. The height of the mercury column is determined by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the mercury in the container.
How much pressure on a piston is required to raise water 4 feet in a 2 inch tube?
It depends on how much water there is to move. It requires more pressure to move more mass. It also depends on the properties of the substance which is being used to displace the water.Let x be the distance from the bottom of the cylinder to the top of the water.The container of the water is a cylinder with a diameter of 2 inches.area = Pi * ((2 / 1) ^ 2) area = Pi * (2 ^ 2)area = Pi * 4The area of the base times the height of the water reveals the volume.vol = height * area vol = height * (4 * Pi)
A tank with a flat bottom is filles with water to a height of 3.5 meters what is the pressure at any point at the bottom of the tank?
c-34.3kpa
As the depth of a glacier increases is there more pressure on the bottom leading to more heat?
Yes, as the depth of a glacier increases, there is more pressure on the bottom due to the weight of the overlying ice. This pressure can lead to an increase in heat at the base of the glacier due to the process of pressure melting, where the ice melts under pressure and the water can reach temperatures close to the pressure melting point.
A tank with a flat bottom is filled with water to height of 3.5 meters what is the pressure at any point at the bottom of the tank?
Pressure is given by the formula P = h * d * g Here h is the depth or height of surface right from bottom. Given as 3.5 m d = density of water i.e. 1000 kg/m^3 g = 9.8 m/s^2 You could plug and get the value of P at bottom in pascal
