Question

Equal mass of three liquids are kept in three identical cylindrical vessels A, B and C. The densities are ρA, ρB, ρC with ρA < ρB < ρC. The force on the base will be

KollegeApply · Accepted Answer

equal in all the vessels The force on the base is given by F = hρg $\times$ A $\Rightarrow$ F = (hAρ)g $\Rightarrow$ F = (Volume $\times$Density) $\times$ g $\Rightarrow$ F = mg} In the question, the masses are equal. So, the force on the base is the same in all cases.
