The diagram shows two vessels, P and Q, both with sides inclined at 45°. Vessel P tapers outwards and vessel Q tapers inwards, as shown. Both vessels contain a liquid. The depth of the liquid in the vessels is the same. The liquid in vessel P is twice as dense as the liquid in vessel Q. What is the ratio pressure due to the liquid on the base of P / pressure due to the liquid on the base of Q ?
