A bowl of water has a flat base of area A = 18.5 cm² and rests on a table. The height of the water is h = 11.0 cm, the weight of the water is 5.00 N, and the weight of the bowl is negligible (see figu below). (a) Find the force exerted on the base of the bowl by the water in contact with it. (Consider the water directly above the base of the bowl.) (b) Find the force exerted on the base of the bowl by the surface of the table. (c) If the base of the bowl is in equilibrium, why are the answers to (a) and (b) not the same?
