Question
1. A u-shaped tube is connected to a flexible tube that has a membrane-
covered funnel on the opposite end as shown in the drawing. Justin finds
that no matter which way he orients to membrane, the height of the liquid in
the u-shaped tube does not change. Which of the following choices best
describes this behavior?
A) Archimedes' principle
B) Bernouli's principle
C) continuity equation
D) irrotational flow
E) Pascal's principle
2. Which one of the following statements concerning the buoyant force on an
object submerged in a liquid is true?
A) The buoyant force depends on the mass of the object.
B) The buoyant force depends on the weight of the object.
c) The buoyant force is independent of the density of the liquid.
D) The buoyant force depends on the volume of the liquid displaced.
E) The buoyant force will increase with depth if the liquid is incompressible.
