why pressure inside a liquid in different shaped vessels at same height same thought they are of different volumes and shapes?

I really don't understand this question.
Could you rephrase it?

He's asking why pressure increases with depth in the same manner regardless of the shape of the container.

Why should it be different?

Why should it matter if there is a wall next to the water or just more water?

Or:

If pressure is equal to the weight of the water above (divided by area), why would it matter what is next to it?
 

1. Why does the pressure increase with depth in a liquid?

The pressure inside a liquid increases with depth because the weight of the liquid above exerts a force on the liquid at lower depths. This force, also known as hydrostatic pressure, is caused by the gravitational pull of the Earth.

2. How does the shape of a vessel affect the pressure inside a liquid?

The shape of a vessel does not affect the pressure inside a liquid. The pressure at any given point within a liquid is determined only by the depth and density of the liquid above it, not the shape of the container.

3. Why does the pressure increase more rapidly in a narrow vessel compared to a wide vessel?

The pressure increases more rapidly in a narrow vessel because the same amount of liquid is confined to a smaller area, resulting in a higher force per unit area. This means that the pressure increases more quickly with depth in a narrow vessel compared to a wide vessel.

4. How does temperature affect the pressure inside a liquid in different shaped vessels?

Temperature does not have a direct effect on the pressure inside a liquid in different shaped vessels. However, changes in temperature can lead to changes in the density of the liquid, which in turn can affect the pressure at a given depth within the liquid.

5. Why does the pressure at the bottom of a container filled with a liquid stay constant?

The pressure at the bottom of a container filled with a liquid stays constant because the weight of the liquid above exerts a constant force on the bottom of the container. As long as the depth and density of the liquid remain constant, the pressure at the bottom will also remain constant.
