shows that the force exerted on the bottom area of the two containers depicted in Figure 6.16 is equal. However, you notice that this value exceeds the weight of the water in container R. This apparent discrepancy is reconciled by forces that act through the walls of the vessel and originate from the top. Show that the sum of the forces due to pressures that act on all horizontal surfaces is exactly equal to the weight of the water in the vessel. As a comparison, perform the same procedure on container S.
