1.) Consider two rectangular tanks, A and B, full of water. They have equal depths and thickness but different widths. Tank A is wider than tank B. Compare the pressure, the water exerts on the bottoms of the tanks. Is P_A greater than, smaller than, or equal to P_B. Explain?

2.) Blocks a, b, and c in the figure given, have the same volume. Rank in order from largest to smallest, the size of the buoyant force F _A, ,F_B, and F _c on a, b and c. Explain your reasoning.
