- #3The three vessels shown in figure have same base area. Equal volumes of a liquid are poured in the three vessels. The force on the base will be
(a) maximum in vessel A
(b) maximum in vessel B
(c) maximum in vessel C
(d) equal in all the vessels
FiguredigAnsr: cAns : (c) maximum in vessel C
Here, the height of the liquid column is maximum in vessel C. Thus, the force on the base of vessel C, i.e., `` F={P}_{0}+h\,\mathrm{\,\rho \,}g`` where P0 is atmospheric pressure, is maximum.
