Question
CBSEENSC8005610

(i) Draw a diagram to show that liquids exert force (pressure) on their walls.

(ii) What happens to the force if some more water is added in the bottle?

Solution

(i) Liquids exert pressure on the walls of the container. This can be demonstrated by fitting a rubber sheet on the glass tube and filling the glass tube with water. 



(ii) On increasing the level of water in the bottle, there is a greater bulge in the balloon. Pressure increases because of increase in water column.
