he weight of a colunm of the liquid 1 square centimeter in cross-section, and of a height equal to the depth of the liquid at that point. As before, P is re-solved into a horizontal component H and a vertical component V, the horizontal component being held in equilibrium by an equal component from… … Fig. 110. The sloping sidestransmit a pressure to>the base. BV represents the total pressure which the entire sides transmit tothe base, where B is the number of square centimeters in thearea of the sides. If h is the horizontal area vertically over thesides at the level of the liquid, we have,…
