Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a stationary homogeneous liquid, the pressure is the same at all points at the same level. This is because the weight of the liquid above a given point exerts a uniform pressure in all directions, causing the pressure to be equal at all points on the same level. Pressure does depend on the depth of the liquid, but not on the direction or any atmospheric pressure on the upper surface of the liquid.
