Solution
Experiment: Tie a balloon at one end of a glass tube open at both ends. Pour some water and note the bulging of the balloon as in
. Now add more water in the tube bulging also increases. Add still more water bulging also increases further as liquid pressure at a point increases with increase in height of the liquid column above that point.
