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 least surface area at the bottom, tank B has the middle and tank C has the greatest area at the bottom. (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). The air pressure right at the top surface of water in tank C is .... the air pressure right at the top surface of water in tank A The total force exerted by the water on the bottom of tank A is ... the total force exerted by the water on the bottom of tank C The water in tank C exerts a downward component of force on the sides of the tank. The pressure exerted on the bottom of tank A is smaller than for the other tanks. The pressure at the bottom of tank A is ... the pressure at the bottom of tank B

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
