Question

A long vertical
tube contains oil to a height
of 42.5 cm The density of the oil is 0.8g cm³
Calculate the maximum lateral pressure exerted
by the oil on the sides of the tube
(b) A beaker
has 2.5cm of mercury
in it. Calculate the
pressure exerted by the mercury on the bottom
beaker take density for mercury as
13.6g cm³ and
g=10ms²​

Answer 1

Answer:

The density of the oil is 0.8g cm³

Calculate the maximum lateral pressure exerted

by the oil on the sides of the tube

(b) A beaker

has 2.5cm of mercury

in it. Calculate the

pressure exerted by the mercury on the bottom

beaker take density for mercury as

13.6g cm³ and

g=10ms²
