Given: F = 300 N; `"A" = 30 " cm"^2 = 30/(100xx100)"m" ^2 = 30xx10^-4 "m"^2`
To Find: Pressure
`therefore "P" = "F"/"A"`
`= 300/(30/(100xx100)`
` = (300xx100xx100)/30`
= 100000
= 105 Pa

Two vessels have the same base area but different shapes. The first vessel takes twice the volume of water that the second vessel requires to fill up to a particular common height. Is the force exerted by the water on the base of the vessel the same in the two cases? If so, why do the vessels filled with water to that same height give different readings on a weighing scale?
