**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Pressure**: Pressure is defined as the force exerted per unit area. It is a fundamental concept in physics that applies to solids, liquids, and gases. 2. **Pressure in Gases**: When we consider gases, they exert pressure in all directions. A common example is a balloon. When air (a gas) is filled into a balloon, the gas molecules move around and collide with the inner walls of the balloon. This collision exerts a force on the walls, causing the balloon to stretch. 3. **Pressure in Liquids**: Similarly, liquids also exert pressure. When a liquid is placed in a container, the weight of the liquid creates pressure on the bottom of the container. This pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the liquid above. ...
