Question

Every liquid at rest exerts equal pressure in all _____ at a point inside the liquid.

Answer 1

1. In a liquid at rest, pressure at all points in the same horizontal plane is the same.
2. A liquid exerts pressure due to its weight, on the bottom as well as on the wall of the container due to its tendency to flow.
3. A fluid contained in a vessel exerts the same pressure at all points and in all directions.

Thus, every liquid at rest exerts equal pressure in all directions at a point inside the liquid.
