Glass B is wider at the top than at the bottom, and so holds more water than A. Glass C is narrower at the top than at the bottom, and so holds less water than A. Which glass has the greatest liquid pressure at the bottom?
Glass A
Glass B
Glass C
All three have equal non-zero pressure at the bottom
All three have zero pressure at the bottom
