Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Hydraulic pressure(p) can be formulated as,
p=ρgh
Where ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth in the liquid. We can see by the formula that the pressure increases as the depth increases. So the pressure at the bottom will be more than that at the top.
The correct statement would be that the pressure on the bottom of a pool will be greater than that at the top surface of the pool.
