It sure sounds like a trick question. I picture this like two grain silos side by side. Same height, but one is 40' in diameter and one is only 3' in diameter????
They are both filled with water.....which one weighs more? Is this the right image?
a 200 foot column of water in a 3' wide tube..
or a 200 foot column of water in a 40 ' wide tube? quiet you mathematicians!

weighs the same.
