In a graduated cylinder, 10 cm of oil (? = 0.85 g/cm3) floats on top of 20 cm of water (? = 1.00 g/cm3). What is the pressure at a height of 10 cm from the bottom of the cylinder?

Step 1
Given: Density of oil, Ļ = 0.85 g/cmĀ³ Height of oil, h = 10 cm Pressure due to oil, P_oil = Ļ * g * h P_oil = 0.85 g/cmĀ³ * 9.8 m/sĀ² * 0.10 m P_oil = 0.85 * 9.8 * 0.10 = 0.833 N/cmĀ² Show moreā¦
