Hydrostatic pressure at lateral directions
I just read that, with respect to a stationary tiny cube, suspended in a fluid, that has a negligible weight and dimensions:
Pressure is the same in every direction in a fluid at a given depth, ...

Does the magnitude of pressure on the sides (not the top and bottom) of a volume depend on depth?
I understand that at a point in a fluid, such as water, the fluid will be in equilibrium as the sum of the pressure from all directions will equal to zero. For a volume of water, the reasoning should ...

In hydrostatics, is it possible for the bouancy to be greater than the weight of a body?
In the diagram we have two bodies, with density and volume $\delta$ and $V$, and a fluid $\ell$.
$$\delta_1=0,7 \rm\frac{gr}{cm^3}$$
$$\delta_2=2 \rm\frac{gr}{cm^3}$$
$$V_1=100 \rm {cm^3}$$
$$V_2=10 ...
