Pressure — practice question

The figure displays three glass containers. In each container, water rises to the same vertical level $h$. The base area of P matches the base area of R. The base area of Q is greater than the other two. Students must compare the water pressure at the bottom of each container. Student 1 states that the pressure at base R is greater than the pressure at base P. Student 2 states that the pressure at base Q is lower than the pressure at base P. Student 3 states that the pressures at all three bases are identical. Which students are correct?

  • Anone are correct
  • B1 only
  • C2 only
  • D3 only
