the bottomless conical container shown is on a table. The edges of the container are tightly fitted to the surface of the container. After the liquid level reaches the height h, the water pressure causes the container to rise. The radius of the bottom base of the container (which is larger) is equal to R, the angle between the generatrix of the cone and the vertical is A, the weight of the container is P, and the height of the cone is b. Express the density of the liquid as a function of the given data.
