Question 15

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.

Answer

We observe that the throw of the liquid from hole A is more than the B i.e., the liquid reaches to a greater distance on the horizontal surface from hole A than hole B. This shows that liquid pressure at a point increases with the increase of depth from it's free surface.
