Detailed Solution

Both the liquids and gases exert pressure on the walls of the containers.
It is true to say that both liquids and gases exert pressure on the walls of the containers. The following experiments prove the same.
A cylindrical glass tube is fixed near the bottom of the plastic bottle, and its mouth is covered with a thin rubber sheet. The bottle is filled up to half with the water. The bulging of the rubber sheet indicates that the water exerted pressure on the sides of the container. Similarly, the shape of the balloon changes when we inflate it with the air. These experiments prove that the liquids and gases exert pressure on the walls of the container.
