Do Liquids Exert Pressure?

Explain that a liquid exerts pressure on the walls.

Two pistons (areas A_(1) and A_(2)) exerting forces F_(1) and F_(2) on a liquid exerts pressures P_(1) and P_(2) as shown in figure. The pistons are at the same horizontal level and do not move under the influence of force, then

Explain that liquids exert equal pressure at the same depth.

Why do the gases exert pressure?

The "______" exerted by a liquid at rest per unit area normal to the surface in contact with the liquid is called pressure.

A cube of edge length 10 cm is placed inside a liquid. The pressure at the centre of the face is 15 Pa. find the force exerted by the liquid on this face.
