If we assume a cylinder at a depth of h then there will be two force acting.
One force will be the weight of water above the column which will be acting downward.
The other force which will balance the down force is the buoyant or upper force.
Let the height of water be h. The cross section area is A.
then
F = mg
F = Vg
F = hAg (volume is
height multiplied by area)
as we know
Pressure = force / area
Pressure = hAg / A
Pressure = hg
Pressure = gh
This agrees with pascal's principle as we can see that pressure increases with depth. The lowermost point in a column of liquid will have maximum pressure.
You have made some conclusions abou the water pressure at various points in th water. Do...
Activity 2 You have made some conclusions about the water pressure at various points int water. Do the following to test these conclusions: he beaker of a. Consider a container of water at rest. b. Imagine a cylindrical column of the water from the top of the water to a depth h below the top of the water; assume that the cross-sectional area is A. Draw all forces acting c the column of water. You may assume that the forces...
For the following questions, use the equation below for the water pressure as a function of depth: P = (9800 Pa/m)*d + 101,300 Pa PART A: A cube of plastic that has dimensions of 1.8 m x 1.8 m x 1.8 m, is submerged in a tank of water such that the top surface of the cube is 1.8 m below the surface of the water. First, let's determine the water pressure acting on the top and bottom of the...
( points total) You have decided to boil a small pot of water immersed in another large water as shown in the sketch below. Will the water in the small pot ever boil at steady staa conditions when the water in the big pot boils? Explain your answe there is always water in both pots at steady state conditions. n another large pot r. You should assume that water 5 points total) Two flasks, shown in the figure below, are...

(g) What is the volume of the oil displaced by the block, in terms of the variables of the problem? Vo= Problem 2 - Pressure and Buoyancy with Oil and Water You have a block of a light wood that is 10 cm by 10 cm by 10 cm. You also have a bucket that you fill with a depth of 20 cm of water (has a density of 1000 kg/m'), and then...
Question 4-12 points Biologists use gel electrophoresis to sont DNA segments by size. DNA segments are placed at one end of a gel. DNA is negatively chargod (with a charge of two electrons per base pair). When you "run the gel" you are generating an electric field by connecting anodes and cathodes at the ends of the gel This causes the negatively charged DNA segments to move towards the positive electrode. After nunning the gel, smaller DNA segments have moved...
