Chapter 14: Q. 9 (page 383)

A 50-cm-thick layer of oil floats on a 120-cm-thick layer of water. What is the pressure at the bottom of the water layer?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Total pressure at the bottom of the water is 117 Kpa

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A 50-cm-thick layer of oil floats on a 120-cm-thick layer of water.

02

Explanation

Total pressure exerted is sum of pressure exerted by oil , water and atmospheric pressure

That means

PTotal = Po + Poil+ PWater

Po = 101 kPa

Poil = hoil 蚁oil g

PWater = hWater 蚁Water g

蚁Water = 1000 kg/m3

蚁oil = 870 kg/ m3

Now substitute the value and get PTotal

PTotal = 101 kPa + ( 0.5 m x 870 kg/m3 x 9.8 m/s2) + ( 1.2 m x 1000 kg/m3 x 9.8 m/s2)

PTotal = 117 kPa

It's possible to use the ideal-gas law to show that the density of the earth's atmosphere decreases exponentially with height. That is, 蚁=蚁0exp鈦�鈭�z/z0, where Zis the height above sea level, 蚁0is the density at sea level (you can use the Table 14.1value), and z0is called the scale height of the atmosphere.

a. Determine the value of z0.

Hint: What is the weight of a column of air?

b. What is the density of the air in Denver, at an elevation of 1600m? What percent of sea-level density is this?

In FIGURECP14.73, a cone of density 蚁0and total height localid="1648200296554" lfloats in a liquid of density 蚁f. The height of the cone above the liquid is . What is the ratioh/l of the exposed height to the total height?

A less-dense liquid of density 蚁1floats on top of a more-dense liquid of density 蚁2. A uniform cylinder of length Land density 蚁, with 蚁1<蚁<蚁2, floats at the interface with its long axis vertical. What fraction of the length is in the more-dense liquid?
