Two round, open tanks containing the same type of fluid rest on a table top as shown in Fig. P2.114. They have the same bottom area, A, but different shapes. When the depth, h, of the liquid in the two tanks is the same, the pressure force of the liquids on the bottom of the two tanks is the same. However, the force that the table exerts on the two tanks is different because the weight in each of the tanks is different. How do you account for this apparent paradox?
