The diagram shows three glass containers. All three contain water filled to the same vertical height h P Q A Ah wooden block supporting R The base area of P is equal to the base area of R. The base area of Q is larger than the other two. Students are asked to compare the water pressure at the bottom of each container. Student 1 says that the pressure at base R is more than the pressure at base P. Student 2 says that the pressure at base Q is less than the pressure at base P.
