write about the Hydrostatic Paradox

mark my answer as brainliest.......
In fluid dynamics, Hydrostatic Paradox speaks about the liquid pressure at all the points at the same depth(horizontal level). It is defined as: “The pressure at a certain horizontal level in the fluid is proportional to the vertical distance to the surface of the fluid. “
When a liquid is poured in any one of the vessels, it is noticed that the level of liquids in all the vessels is the same. This observation is somewhat puzzling. It was called 'hydrostatics paradox' before the principle of hydrostatics were completely understood.
One can feel that the pressure of the base of the vessel C would be more than that at the base of the vessel B and the liquid from vessel C would rise into the vessel B. However, it is never observed. Equation 2.2 tells that the pressure at a point depends only on the height of the liquid column above it. It does not depend on the shape of the vessel. In this case, height of the liquid column is the same for all the vessels. Therefore, the pressure of liquid column in each vessel is the same and the system is in equilibrium. That means the liquid in vessel C does not rise in to vessel B.
