ρ V V ρ P F P A ρ g h A: Mass Mass

The document explains the relationship between mass, volume, and pressure in liquid containers. It shows that the force exerted on the base of a container is determined by the weight of the liquid column, which is consistent across different liquids due to constant mass and gravitational acceleration. Therefore, the force on the base is independent of the liquid's density when mass is constant.

Given that the mass of the liquid is constant across all containers, we use:

Mass
Mass =ρ ⋅V ⟹V =
ρ
The force exerted on the base of a container is due to the weight of the
liquid column, which is proportional to the pressure P at the base:

F=P ⋅ A= ρ⋅ g ⋅h ⋅ A
Here:

 h is the height of the liquid column, given by V / A .


Mass Mass
 Substituting V = , we get h= .
ρ ρ⋅ A
Thus, the force on the base:
Mass
F=ρ ⋅ g ⋅ ⋅ A= Mass ⋅ g
ρ⋅ A
Since mass and g are constant for all liquids, the force on the base will not
depend on density and will be the same for all containers.
