A tall tank filled with water has an irregular shape as shown. The wall $C D$ makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal, the wall $A B$ is normal to the base $B C$. The lengths $A B$ and $C D$ are much smaller than the height $h$ of water (figure not to scale). Let $p_1, p_2$ and $p_3$ be the pressures exerted by the water on the wall $A B$, base $B C$ and the wall $C D$ respectively. Density of water is $\rho$ and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity. Then, approximately
