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