Vedclass · Answer

(A) fluid at rest exerts a force on the surface of a vessel in contact with it. According to Pascal's law and the properties of static fluids,this force is always directed perpendicular to the surface of the vessel at every point. If the force had a component parallel to the surface,the fluid would experience a tangential stress,causing it to flow along the surface. Since the fluid is in a state of rest (static),there can be no tangential component of the force. Therefore,the force exerted by the fluid is always normal (perpendicular) to the surface.
