f water in the several vessels is manifestly verydifferent, but the pressure upon the base of each vessel isthe same. This seems at first sight an evident paradox.The weight of water on the base A is manifestly the wholeweight. But this isequal to the volumeof the cylinder incubic centimetres(since… … Fig. 49. PRESSURE IN LIQUIDS 93 pressure on the base remains the same. The pressure onthe portion of the base a b is equal to a volume of water,h X ab. This has the same intensity per unit surface asin A, since the height, h, is the same. But we could nothave a greater pressure on a b than at c and…
