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.


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 :)


The pressure at the bottom of a barrel filled with liquid does NOT depend on the?

The pressure at the bottom of a barrel filled with liquid does not depend on the shape or size of the barrel. It depends only on the depth of the liquid and the density of the liquid.


Where is fluid pressure the greatest?

Fluid pressure is the greatest at the deepest point. If the fluid is in different shaped vessels, the pressure is the greatest at the bottom of the vessel no matter what the shape.


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.


Is air pressure the greatest at the top of a mountain?

no, at bottom


If a liquid is added to a beaker the pressure exerted by the liquid on the bottom of the beaker?

increases due to the increased weight of the liquid. This is because the liquid's weight creates a force that is spread out over the bottom of the beaker, leading to an increase in pressure.


Why is the pressure in a pressure chamber dfferent at the top and bottom?

At the bottom, there is the additional weight of the gas or liquid above the surface level.


What would the pressure be in a liquid contained in a vertical tube sealed at the top with a submerged open bottom be?

It would be the same as the pressure in the liquid outside the tube at the open end- the deeper it is in the liquid, the higher the pressure.


Does the pressure on the bottom of a tank of fluid varies directly with the density of the liquid in the tank?

No, the pressure at the bottom of a tank of fluid is directly proportional to the height of the fluid above that point and the density of the liquid, according to the hydrostatic pressure formula. It is not directly proportional to the density of the liquid alone.


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.


Why liquid rushes faster at the bottom hole than the tops?

The liquid rushes faster at the bottom hole because of the effects of gravity. The pressure at the bottom hole is higher due to the weight of the liquid above it, causing it to flow faster. Buoyancy effects also play a role in the flow dynamics.
