Choose whether the statement is TRUE or FALSE. * TRUE FALSE The absolute pressure is equal to the gage reading. Hydrostatic force acting on a submerged plane area increases as the depth of immersion increases. The pressure on the base of a liquid column will depend upon the shape of the column. The center of pressure on a submerged plane will be at a lower level with respect to the centroid. The unit of eccentricity is the same as unit pressure.
