The vessel shown in the figure has two sections of areas of cross-section A1 and A2. A liquid of density p fills both the sections, up to a height h in each . Neglect atmospheric pressure. 1) The pressure by the liquid on the base of the vessel is 2h pg 2) The force exerted by the liquid on the base of the vessel is 2h pgA2 3) The weight of the liquid is < 2h pgA2 4) The walls of the vessel at the level X exert a downward force hpg (A2−A1) on the liquid |
