Question

A narrow tube is sealed onto a tank as shown in Fig. $13-8$. The base of the tank has an area of $80 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$. (a) Remembering that pressure is determined by the height of the column of liquid, find the force on the bottom of the tank due to oil when the tank and capillary are filled with oil $\left(\rho=0.72 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)$ to the height $h_{1} .(b)$ Repeat for an oil height of $h_{2}$.

Step 1

72 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$, which is equivalent to $720 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$. The acceleration due to gravity $g$ is $9.81 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$. The height of the oil column $h_{1}$ is $20 \mathrm{~cm}$, which is equivalent to $0.2 Show more…

Key Concepts

Hydrostatic Pressure

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid at rest due to the gravitational force acting on it. It is directly proportional to the depth of the fluid column and is calculated using the equation p = ?gh, where ? is the fluid density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the fluid above the point of measurement. This concept is fundamental in understanding how pressure varies within fluids at rest.

Force due to Pressure on a Surface

The force exerted by a fluid on a surface is determined by multiplying the pressure acting on the surface by the area of that surface. This relationship is expressed as F = pA, where F is the force, p is the pressure, and A is the area. This concept allows for the calculation of the net force on any boundary in contact with a fluid, which is essential in fluid mechanics and related engineering applications.
