Problem

Points A, B, and C are located inside the same pond. Points A and B are each

0.50\,\text{m}

below the water surface; point A is at the center of the pond, and point B is next to the shore. Point C is

1.0\,\text{m}

below the surface at the center. Rank the magnitudes of the pressures

P_A

P_B

, and

P_C

from greatest to least. (a)

P_C=P_A=P_B

(b)

P_A>P_B>P_C

(c)

P_C>P_A=P_B

(d)

P_C>P_B>P_A
