The gravitational force exerted on a solid object is 5.00 N. When the object is suspended from a spring scale and submerged in water, the scale reads 3.50 N (Fig. P15.24). Find the density of the object. Figure P15.24 Problems 24 and 25.
Water flows through a pipe that gradually descends from a height of 6.78 m to the ground. Near the top, the cross-sectional area is 0.400 m2, and the pipe gradually widens so that its area near the ground is 0.800 m2. Water leaves the pipe at a speed of 16.8 m/s. What is the difference in the water pressure between the top and bottom of the pipe?
Review. The tank in Figure P15.13 is filled with water of depth d = 2.00 m.

A U-tube open at both ends is partially filled with water (Fig. P15.67a). Oil having a density 750 kg/m3 is then poured into the right arm and forms a column L = 5.00 cm high (Fig. P15.67b). (a) Determine the difference h in the heights of the two liquid surfaces. (b) The right arm is then shielded from any air motion while air is blown across the top of the left arm until the surfaces of the two liquids are at the same height (Fig. P15.67c). Determine the speed of the air being blown across the left arm. Take the density of air as constant at 1.20 kg/m3.
