Two vessels have the same base area but different shapes. The first vessel takes twice the volume of water that the second vessel requires to fill upto a particular common height. Is the force exerted by the water on the base of the vessel the same in the two cases ? If so, why do the vessels filled with water to that same height give different readings on a weighing scale ?

An incompressible liquid is kept in a container having a weightless piston with a hole. A capillary tube of inner radius $0.1 \mathrm{~mm}$ is dipped vertically into the liquid through the airtight piston hole, as shown in the figure. The air in the container is isothermally compressed from its original volume $V_0$ to $\frac{100}{101} V_0$ with the movable piston. Considering air as an ideal gas, the height $(h)$ of the liquid column in the capillary above the liquid level in $\mathrm{cm}$ is. . . . . . .
