Ok, so if you are trying to find the force at the bottom of the box, which would be the weight of the liquid (weight=volume*density*g), and had a situation where there was a pocket of air right in the middle of the liquid. Would you take the total volume, including that pocket of air, in your...

You have a rectangle box filled with a liquid to height H. How will the force on the sidewall of the box change if the height (H) is increased without adding anymore fluid? (i.e. a smaller solid box is added to displace the liquid). Assuming the equation F=specific weight*depth of center...
