A submarine is 20m below the surface of the sea. The pressure due to the water is P.
On another day, the submarine is 26m below the surface of fresh water.
The density of sea water is 1.3 times the density of fresh water.
What is the pressure due to the fresh water at a depth of 26m?
A P/1.3 B P C 1.3P D 1.7P
Four identical beakers are filled with equal volumes of liquids P or Q as shown. Liquid P is denser than liquid Q.
At which point is the pressure the least?
An oil tank has a base of area 2.5m² and is filled with oil to a depth of 1.2m.
