Question

Can a liquid exert pressure upwards?

Answer 1

Answer:

YES

Explanation:

Yes it can exerts pressure upwards . Yes water molecules being free to move in any direction exert pressure in all directions so they exert pressure upward also. ... If it is heated it gains sufficient Kinetic energy to move upward against force of gravity and thus water evaporates.

Answer 2

Yes, liquid exerts pressure upwards

Explanation:

Yes, a liquid can exert pressure upwards. The upward force exerted by the fluid on the submerged object is called buoyant force. This pressure increases as depth increases. The pressure at the bottom of the object is greater than the pressure at the top of the object. The buoyant force is present irrespective of whether the submerged object floats or sinks.
