ANSWER:

Step-by-step solution Step 1 of 2 When the cork is pressed directly against the liquid in bottle and if pound on the fork by fist, the force applied on cork and the pressure exerted on bottom of bottle work as hydraulic system. The first pressure along the pressure of fluid weight transfers to the bottom. Due to which the bottom of bottle feels a higher pressure, and because of higher force the bottom breaks.
