Answer 1

Answer:

c is correct answer

please make it

Answer 2

d) It is more both on the sides and towards bottom is the true statement for pressure, that a liquid exerts on a vessel's walls.

Explanation:

• Exerted pressure is on both directions i.e. downwards as well as sideways. However, pressure in the downwards direction is greater than the pressure in the sideways.
• Pressure on liquid depends usually on the column height of air which is above it.
• Hence, the exerted is independent of the area of the base of vessel's walls.
• The pressure that the saturated vapour exerts on the surface of liquid is known as vapour pressure of liquid at any given temperature.
