The pressure on base of the first container (far left) and that of the second container (middle) is different, right? In the first container the pressure will be the same, as the pressure on the base of the second container, only exactly under the mouth of the container. On points not exactly under the mouth, the pressure on the base will be different in the first container. Is this correct? Otherwise, I cannot comprehend how there is a difference in the measured weights.
