The pressure in liquids is independent of the shape of the container due to the fundamental principle that pressure is determined by the weight of the liquid above the measurement point divided by the area. This principle holds true regardless of the container's shape. However, changes in volume can affect pressure, as the overall weight of the liquid column above the measurement point may vary with volume adjustments.
PREREQUISITESStudents of physics, engineers working with fluid systems, and anyone interested in understanding the behavior of liquids under varying conditions.
but when the valum changes,the pressure will change.russ_watters said:Pressure is equal to the weight of the water above the point where it is being measured (divided by unit area), so shape couldn't make any difference.
