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.

Consider a hollow cone with a vent hole in the vertex at thetop, along with a hollow cylinder, open at the top, with thesame base area as the cone. Fill both with water to the top.The hydrostatic par a dox is that both containers have thesame force on the bottom due to the water pressure, althoughthe cone contains 67 percent less water. Can you explainthe paradox?
