Question

A cylinder and a cone with base radius r1 and r2 respectively (r1>r2) have the same mass. Pressure exerted by cone is?

1) equal to the cylinder
2) less than the cylinder
3) greater than the cylinder
4) zero

Answer 1

answer is 2) less than the cylinder
as the volume of cone(1/3πr^2h) is lesser than the volume of cylinder (πr^2h)
