a. Find an expression for the force of the liquid on the bottom of the aquarium.
b. Find an expression for the force of the liquid on the front window of the aquarium.
c. Evaluate the forces for a-long, deep aquarium filled with water.
A U-shaped tube, open to the air on both ends, contains mercury. Water is poured into the left arm until the water column is deep. How far upward from its initial position does the mercury in the right arm rise?
A friend asks you how much pressure is in your car tires. You know that the tire manufacturer recommends , but it's been a while since you've checked. You can't find a tire gauge in the car, but you do find the owner's manual and a ruler. Fortunately, you've just finished taking physics, so you tell your friend, "I don't know, but I can figure it out." From the owner's manual you find that the car's mass is. It seems reasonable to assume that each tire supports one-fourth of the weight. With the ruler you find that the tires are wide and the flattened segment of the tire in contact with the road is long. What answer-in psi-will you give your friend?
