To design a piston with lower pressure, should you increase or decrease its area? Why? Two containers each hold 1000 liters of water. The first container is a cube, and the second container is a tall, narrow cylinder. Is the water pressure greater at the bottom of the first container, the second container, or is it the same? Why?
