Detailed Solution

Let a cylinder with radius r be filled with a homogeneous liquid of density ρ up to a height h. Pressure at the bottom of the cylinder, p1=ρgh Pressure at the top of the liquid surface, p2=0 Average pressure on the sides of the cylinder,
p=p1+p22=ρgh/2
Force on the sides of the vessel = average pressure x area =ρgh2×2πrh
=πrρgh2
Force on the bottom of the vessel =p1πr2 =ρghπr2
Two forces will be equal if
πrρgh2=ρghπr2 h=r
