2 The opposite figure shows a triangular prism which is
submerged in water basin, at which of the points (x, y, z)
is pressure the highest ? And why?

The highest pressure is located at points x & y.

Explanation:

The pressure will be greater at the X & y points, because they are at a deeper distance than the Z point. We must remember that the pressure is a function of the depth of the fluid, and is expressed by the following equation.

The pressure is always measured with respect to the liquid level towards the depth of the fluid, so at greater depth greater pressure
