Question

where is pressure due to the water higher in a dam near its base or near its top

Answer 1

The most pressure exerted by the water is at its base. A reason why dam walls are thicker at the bottom. pressure in liquids is calculated by the formula H*d*g(height*density(rho)*gravitational pull(9.8 m/s^2{[general value]varies})

Answer 2

near its base because the pressure exerted by a liquid increases with its depth
