Two rectangular tanks, A and B, are filled to a height, ha and hb respectively, as shown; ha is double hb, the width of container B is double that of A, and the containers have the same wall thickness. How does the pressure and the force at the bottom of the tanks compare, respectively? You may assume the length of each container is equal.
