Describe a simple experiment to demonstrate that a liquid enclosed in a vessel exerts pressure in all directions.
A vessel contains water up to a height of 1.5 m. Taking the density of water 103 kg m-3, acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m s-2 and area of base of vessel 100 cm2, calculate: (a) the pressure and (b) the thrust at the base of vessel.
Two spheres A and B, each of volume 100 cm3 is placed on water (density = 1.0 g cm−3). The sphere A is made of wood of density 0.3 g cm−3 and sphere B is made of iron of density 8.9 g cm−3.
- Find:
- The weight of each sphere, and
- The upthrust on each sphere.
- Which sphere will float? Give reason.
