A fluid is said to be in pressure if it has the ability to apply a force on an object and if the object is placed in the fluid or at the boundary of the fluid and it's surroundings.
Is this force application required to be in all directions if a fluid is considered to be under pressure?...I mean suppose a fluid contains some amount of K.E by virtue of motion in the y-axis then this fluid has the ability to apply force on an object which is placed in it's path...but the force will only be applied in one direction on the object...so will this moving fluid be considered under pressure?...or is it that the fluid will be said to be in pressure only if it has the ability to apply force on all sides of the object which is contained in it?
