What will happen if you make two tiny holes of the same size at equal heights from the bottom in a plastic bottle filled with water? What does this experiment prove?

The water will start gushing out from the two holes and will fall at equal distances on the two sides of the bottle, i.e., AC= BD. This proves that (1) a- liquid exerts pressure on the sides of a container also and (ii) a liquid exerts equal pressure at the same depth.

An empty plastic bottle is kept and three holes are made in it at the same height from the bottom of the bottle. Bottle is now filled with water. Water stands leaking out 'from the holes. Do the different stream of water coming out of the holes fall at the same distance from the bottle? What conclusion do you draw ?

Three tiny holes are made in an empty can at different levels, one over the other. They are temporarily closed with an adhesive tap and then the can is filled with water. As the tapes are pulled out, water starts flowing out from the holes. It is observed that water flowing out from the lowest hole goes farthest and that from the uppermost hole nearest to the can (BE > BD > BC). Why? What does this experiment show ?
