Question

A bottle kept on a table started leaking when two holes were made at the same level, the liquid through both the holes falls at the same distance from the bottle. This is because:

• A. The liquid inside the bottle is exerting equal pressure in all directions at the same level
• B. The liquid inside is not exerting any pressure on the bottle
• C. The liquid is exerting unequal pressure in all directions at the same level
• D. Can't be said

Answer 1

The correct option is A

The liquid inside the bottle is exerting equal pressure in all directions at the same level

The pressure at the same horizontal level is equal in all directions. So when holes were made at the same horizontal level, the liquid came out as it was exerting pressure in all directions inside the container.
