Factors Affecting Pressure

A tall vertic...

Question

A tall vertical cylinder filled with water is kept on a horizontal table top. Two small holes A and B are made on the wall of the cylinder, A near the middle and B just below the free surface of water. State and explain your observation.

Solution

The liquid from hole A reaches a greater distance on the horizontal surface than that from hole B. This explains that liquid pressure at a point increases with the depth from the free surface.
