10.23 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?

    Two vessels, having the same base area, will have identical force and equal pressure acting on their common base area. Since the shapes of the two vessels are different, the force exerted on the sides of the vessels has non-zero vertical components.

    When these vertical components are added, the total force on one vessel comes out to be more than on the other vessel. Hence, when these vessels are filled with water to the same height, they give different readings on the weighing scale.
