Question

How do liquid exert pressure on containers

Answer 1

$<marquee>☺☺Hi there☺☺</marquee>$

This is because of a fundamental property of fluids that fluids flow. They can freely move from pressures/forces.

Fluids (liquids and gasses) have mass. Newton’s First Law of motion tell us that ANY mass requires a force to accelerate it. A pressure difference between two locations in a fluid provides such an accelerating force to move fluid. A higher pressure region will accelerate fluid toward all nearby lower pressure regions.

This property has three important results.

1-Fluids conform to their container. They take the containers shape.
2-Fluids form around objects immersed in them.
3-Pressure is non directional. it is the same in all directions.
