Question

An object is submerged in water. If we increase the pressure of the air above the water by an amount delta P, the pressure on the object will increase by an amount greater than delta P, less than delta P, or equal to delta P. Consider the density of the water to not be affected by the change of pressure. The two containers shown in the figure are filled with water to the same height. The bottom areas of the two containers are equal. In which container will the pressure at the bottom be the greatest? container a container B same for both containers

Explanation / Answer

Hi, If you like my answer, please rate my answer first and according to my answer...that way only I can earn points. Thanks
1. pressure is transmitted without any change..
hence : C. equal to P

2. Since the both containers water at the same height the pressure will be gh...
     it only depends on height
     hence :C both in both the containers
