Question

The three tanks shown above are filled with water to an equal depth. All the tanks have an equal height. Tank A has the middle surface area at the bottom, tank B the least and tank C the greatest.
(Select T-True, F-False, G-Greater than, L-Less than, E-Equal to. If the first is F the second L and the rest G, enter
FLGGGG).

A) The force due to the water on the bottom of tank B is .... the weight of the water in the tank.
B) The force exerted by the water on the bottom of tank B is ... the force exerted by the water on the bottom of tank C
C) The pressure at the bottom of tank B is ... the pressure at the bottom of tank A
D) The pressure exerted on the bottom of tank C is greater than for the other tanks.
E) The water in tank B exerts an upward force on the sides of the tank. The three tanks shown above are filled with water to an equal depth. All the tanks have an equal height.

Explanation / Answer

here , for same height

pressure at the bottom is

P = p * g * h

A) as the area is grestest for C , the force is maximum for C ,

greater than - G

B)

False,

water applies an upward force

c)

pressure in all containers is equal

EQUAL

d)
False,

pressure in all containers is equal

e)

air pressure at the surface of all containers is equal

Hence , EQUAl
