Variation of Pressure with Depth

Take a tall metal cylinder with a few holes on its side at various levels. Each hole has the same diameter. The holes are initially closed by corks. The cylinder is filled with water. When all the holes are opened, water rushes out through them but with varying forces. The water from the lowest hole falls for away from the cylinder.




This experiment clearly shows that the pressure of the liquid increase with depth.
