At point A, we have atmospheric pressure, as does point D, so they are equal I think. B has the weight of the water molecules above it, so it experiences more pressure than A and D. I'm just not sure why C is < B when they are at the same depth. Is it because molecules at C are moving but not at B?

Homework Statement Homework Equations fluid pressure = fluid density * depth * gThe Attempt at a Solution My understanding is that fluid pressure at any two points at the same depth is equal, for a fluid at rest. But because one end is open, the pressure at point C is less than B and equal to...
