In vessels of different shapes, liquids of the same density are at the same level.

In vessels of different shapes, liquids of the same density are at the same level. What can be said about the forces of pressure of liquids on the bottom of the vessels?

The pressure of the liquid at the bottom of the vessel is calculated by the formula p = ro * g * h, where ro is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration of gravity, h is the height of the liquid column. This equation is called Pascal’s Law.

The force of pressure is the product of pressure and area F = p * S.

Thus, with the same height of liquid in vessels of different shapes, the force of pressure on the bottom will be greater in the vessel with a larger area. The pressure on the bottom will be the same in vessels of different forms of liquid of the same density.
