Referring to Figure 11.19, prove that the buoyant force on the cylinder is equal to the weight

Question:

Referring to Figure 11.19, prove that the buoyant force on the cylinder is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced (Archimedes' principle). You may assume that the buoyant force is F2-F1 and that the ends of the cylinder have equal areas A. Note that the volume of the cylinder (and that of the fluid it displaces) equals (h2 - h1)A.
