ruth of his Principle,and also showed how to apply it to ex-plain the apparent contradiction. Take, for example, the case of avessel of the form D (Fig. 113). Thepressure on the bottom DF (¥\^^. 114)is equal to the weight of the water inCDFE, together with the pressure dueto the water in LABK. Now… … Fig. 114.—Explanation of the hydro-static paradox. downwards, which isIf the spaces HK and AK were filledwith water the pressure downwards on GK and BE would justbalance the upward pressure on them. Hence the entire pressure on the bottom is equal to the weightof the water in HDFG, or the pressure…
