The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Fluid pressure is always directed," we need to analyze how pressure behaves in fluids (liquids and gases). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fluid Pressure**: - Fluid pressure is defined as the force exerted by a fluid per unit area. It acts in all directions within the fluid. 2. **Observing a Container with Fluid**: - Imagine a container filled with a liquid. The liquid exerts pressure on the walls of the container. 3. **Direction of Pressure**: - The pressure exerted by the fluid acts in three dimensions: - **Upward**: The fluid pushes against the bottom of the container. - **Downward**: The fluid exerts pressure on the bottom due to the weight of the fluid above. - **Sideways**: The fluid also exerts pressure on the sides of the container. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the pressure is exerted in all these directions, we can conclude that fluid pressure is indeed directed in all directions. 5. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the correct option is: **Fluid pressure is always directed in all directions** (Option 4).
