Points P, Q and R lie at the same depth below the free surface of still water inside a wide tank but at different horizontal positions. Which statement about the pressures pP,pQp_P, p_Q and pRp_R at these points is correct? (a) pP=pQp_P = p_Q but both are greater than pRp_R (b) pP=pQ=pRp_P = p_Q = p_R (c) pP=pR<pQp_P = p_R < p_Q (d) pP>pQ>pRp_P > p_Q > p_R
