Consider a vessel filled with a liquid up to height $H$. The bottom of the vessel lies in the $X-Y$ plane passing through the origin. The density of the liquid varies with the $Z$-axis as $\rho(z) = \rho_0 \left[ 2 - \left( \frac{z}{H} \right)^2 \right]$. If $P_1$ and $P_2$ are the pressures at the bottom surface and top surface of the liquid respectively, the magnitude of $(P_1 - P_2)$ is:

  • A
    $\rho_0 g H$
  • B
    $\frac{8}{5} \rho_0 g H$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2} \rho_0 g H$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{3} \rho_0 g H$
