Question

if vessels of all different shapes are filled to the same level of water, but the area of the base is the same for all three vessels, which of the following is true?:

a. the pressure at the top of the surface of the largest vessel is the greatest because it has the largest surface area
b. the pressure at the bottom of the largest vessel is the greatest because it contains the most water
c. the pressure at the bottom of each vessel is the same
d. the force on the bottom of each vessel is not the same
e. at a given depth below the surface of each vessel, the pressure on the side of the largest vessel is greatest because of its slope

AN EXPLANATION WOULD BE GREAT THANK YOU!!

Explanation / Answer

c. the pressure at the bottom of each vessel is the same

pressure only depends the height it doesnt depend on the shape

 

pressure is independent of the shape of the vessel
