State whether the following statements are true or false:
(a) The pressure exerted by a liquid depends on the area of base of its container.
(b) A drinking straw works on the pressure exerted by the liquid filled in a soft drink bottle in which it is placed.
(a)Given statement: "The pressure exerted by a liquid depends on the area of the base of its container."
The given statement is false as the pressure exerted by a liquid in a container depends on the depth of the container. the more the height of the container, the more pressure is exerted by the liquid.
(b) Given statement: "A drinking straw works on the pressure exerted by the liquid-filled in a soft drink bottle in which it is placed."
The given statement is false as the straw does not work on the pressure exerted by the liquid-filled in a soft drink bottle in which it is placed. It works due to different air pressure inside the drinking bottle and outside the bottle when the straw is sucked.
