Question
Three containers have different area on the top surface and same base area. If equal volume of a liquid is put in them which will have more pressure at its base?
✓
Answer
For equal volume, the vertical height of the liquid in the container will be more if the cross-section reduces at the top. So, pressure at the bottom of the container with less area is more.
