Question

Can you now say that liquids exert
pressure on the walls of the
container?​

Answer 1

Yes. Liquids exert pressure on the walls of the container as we know that a liquid exerts pressure in all directions. Although, as liquid pressure increases with depth, there will be more pressure exerted on the bottom as compared to the top.

Answer 2

Yes, liquids exert pressure on the wall of the container. To show it take an example: when we pour water into the glass tube, the water passes into the glass tube at the side and through it into the balloon which starts bulging initially. When we pour more water into the tube, the size of the balloon also increases. This shows that water exerts pressure on the wall of the container.
