Two identical buckets are filled to the brim, one with water and the other with alcohol. The liquid pressure at the bottom of the bucket of water is

1) less than the pressure at the bottom of the bucket of alcohol. 2) more than the pressure at the bottom of the bucket of alcohol. 3) equal to the pressure at the bottom of the bucket of alcohol. This is because 4) both containers are of the same volume. 5) alcohol is less dense than water. 6) both containers are filled to the same depth.
