hi wiz,

the thing you may not be understanding is called a column.  when we talk about forces (especially gravity) we break the subject (here it's water, a liquid) down to smaller units (say cubic centimeters,  cm3).  now if we stack these units, we get a column.  in your new drawing, can you not still see a continuous column of 1 cm3s stacked 5 meters high?  i do, so you still have the same problem. 

btw, have you checked your messages here lately?

hi wiz,

i don't know if this page will help, but if you can follow it, it will help you with your designs.

I certanly see a column but tought it might be realized through rows...in other words there are rows now...so something should change at least preassure distribution.
would love If someone could make comparison using force/lenght of lever analogy of input pipe now widened.

yes I did.

Why ?

hi wiz

i sent you a message, but don't see a reply.  also from the tone of your answer, it sounds like you may not have received it.  can you confirm?

hi wiz,

did you understand this from the link i gave above?

Why the pressure does not depend upon the shape of the vessel or the amount of fluid in the vessel rests upon three things:
  a. Pressure is force per unit area and this is not same as the total weight of the liquid in a vessel.
  b. A fluid can not support its self without a container. Thus the walls of the container exert a pressure on the fluid equal to the pressure of the fluid at that depth.
  c. The pressure at given level is transmitted equally throughout the fluid to be the same value at that level.
