Detailed Solution

Pressure due to water at the bottom of vessel is

$P = h ρ g = 1 m \times 1000 k g m^{- 3} \times 10 {ms}^{- 2} = 10^{4} P a$

Force due to water at the bottom of vessel is

$F = P A = 10^{4} P a \times 100 \times 10^{- 4} m^{2} = 100 N$

$Volume of water= V = (99 c m \times 1 c m^{2}) + (1 c m \times 100 c m^{2}) = 199 {cm}^{3} M a s s = M = ρ V = (1 g c m^{- 3}) (199 {cm}^{3}) = 199 g = 0.199 k g W e i g h t = M g = 0.199 \times 10 = 1.99 N$
