Question

Liquids exert pressure on the walls of the container in which they are put.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is (A) True

1. Liquids are made up of a large number of very small particles.
2. These particles have rapid motion and are continuously colliding with each other and with the wall of the container.
3. When these particles collide with the wall, they exert a force on the wall and thus exert pressure on it. Therefore, liquids do exert pressure on the walls of the container in which they are put.
