At first glance, this looks simple.
Two identical glasses filled with the same liquid.
Points A and B are placed at the same depth.
But… in the second glass, there’s a floating object.
And that’s where the trick begins.
Most people instantly think:
👉 “The pressures must be different… there’s an object in one of them!”
Sounds logical, right?
But take a moment and think deeper.
Pressure in a liquid doesn’t depend on what’s floating above.
It depends on depth, density of the liquid, and gravity.
The floating object only displaces some water — it doesn’t directly press down on point B in a way that changes the pressure at that depth.
So even though the setups look different… the physics behind them tells a different story.
💬 What was your answer? Be honest!
✅ Final Answer:
The pressure at A and B is the SAME.
