Which of the following statements is true? (A) The measured value for the pressure of a gas in a container is almost independent of how high up in the container the measurement was taken. (B) For a liquid in a container, the force exerted on a section of container wall per area of wall depends significantly on how deep the chosen point of measurement is below the surface of the liquid.

The correct answer to the question is

Both A and B are true

Explanation:

The particles of a gas are free to move to occupy the entire volume in which they are placed due to the smallerinter molecular forces holding them together hence due to the face that pressure is a measure of the Force per unit area that is Pressure P = ( Force F)/ (Area A) then the force per unit area, exerted on the all of the container by the gaseous particles which are colliding with each other and with the walss of the container is fairly constant through out the surface oof the container

In the case of the liquid which are held on together by more stronger forces, the force per nit area exerted by the liquid particle is transmitted from one particle to the next until it reaches the container's surface. Then remembering that the force of gravity on the liquid is acting in one direction (that is downwards) the sum of the fprce due to the weight incrreases as we progress deaper into the liquid hence the pressure increases per unit depth
