It is stress or pressure at right angles to the length, as of a beam of a bridge for example
Simple idea: All objects are made of atoms and/or molecules. The molecules in a liquid move at random directions. some of them move vertically, and some horizontally. Most of them, however, move in a combination of the two. To make the answer more simple, the horizontal components of the motion of the molecules collide with a lateral direction with the object (submarine, diver, container wall, etc). The collision between the molecule and the object exerts a lateral force, which acts on an area. Hence lateral pressure is applied.
Active pressure is the lateral pressure exerted by the soil on a retaining wall or structure. It occurs when the soil is compacted or dense and is prone to pushing against the wall or structure. Active pressure increases with the height of the wall or structure and the angle of repose of the soil.
A quarter-inch steel plate can typically handle around 400-500 pounds of lateral pressure per square inch before yielding or deforming. However, the exact capacity can vary based on the grade of steel, the specific plate dimensions, and the nature of the load application. It is recommended to consult with a structural engineer for a precise analysis.
Lateral displacement can be derived using the formula: lateral displacement = initial velocity * time + 0.5 * acceleration * time^2. This formula takes into account the initial velocity, acceleration, and time taken for the object to undergo lateral displacement.
The patient usually is placed in the left lateral decubitus position for proctoscopy.
Lateral soil refers to the soil pressure exerted on retaining structures such as walls or sheet piles from the side. It is caused by the weight of the soil and any additional loads acting perpendicular to the face of the structure. Proper consideration of lateral soil pressure is important in the design and construction of retaining walls to ensure stability and prevent failure.

I think , hydrostatic pressure below the ground table is the same in all direction.i.e k=1

30 degree lateral position referrs to the angle of a person's hips and/or shoulders in relation to the bed. Nursing practice historically focuses on pressure ulcer prevention by repositioning patients every two hours. Originally patients were positioned in a 90 degree lateral sidelying position. It was found this placed undue pressure on shoulder joints and the trochanter (hip joint). In a 30 degree lateral position the weight of the person resting upon the mattress is on the muscle pad of the upper buttock and is less likely to result in a pressure ulcer.
Fish do not have ears. They have a lateral line which is pressure sensitive and therefore pics up the vibration of sound waves.
Lateral compression refers to a type of force that exerts pressure on an object from the sides, making it shorter or wider but not significantly affecting its length. This force can lead to deformation or buckling of the object if it exceeds its structural limits. Lateral compression is often encountered in structural engineering and geology.
The lateral line of a shark is a series of small sensory pores that run along each side of the fish, typically from head to tail. These pores allow sharks to detect changes in water pressure and vibrations in their surroundings, helping them locate prey and navigate their environment.
Amphibians like frogs and salamanders also have a lateral line system, which helps them to detect movement and changes in water pressure in their aquatic environment. Some invertebrates like crayfish and certain insects also have a lateral line system for sensing vibrations in water.
