does pressure at the bottom of the container depend on the shape of the container and the volume of water or fluid contained

Open in App
Solution

The pressure of a liquid at the bottom of the container does not depend on the shape of the container or the size of its bottom surface.
It only depends only on the gravity and density and depth/height of the liquid and hence depends on the volume.
