Consider a U-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. Now water is poured into the U-tube from one arm, and light oil (? = 790 kg/m3) from the other. One arm contains 70-cm-high water, while the other arm contains both fluids with an oil-to-water height ratio of 6. Determine the height of each fluid in that arm.
Consider a U-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. Now equal volume of water and light oil (ρ=790 kg/m3) are poured from different arms. A person blows from the oil side of the U-tube until the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom of the U-tube, and thus the liquid levels in the two arms are the same. If the fluid height in each arm is 102 cm, determine the gage pressure the person exerts on the oil by blowing.
A 1.2 mm diameter tube is inserted into an unknown liquid whose density is 960 kg/m^3, and it is observed that the liquid rises 5 mm in the tube, making a contact angle of 15 degree.

Some people think that ice skates slide on ice because ice melts at the pressure exerted by the skating person. Prove by calculation that such a statement is incorrect. Given student with 75kg mass who skates when the air temperature is -3°C. The edge of the ice skate is 28cm long and 3mm wide (the student stands on one leg). For the calculations, consider that the density of water changes from 1.00gcm^-3 to 0.92gcm^-3 while it freezes at 0°C at atmospheric pressure. Enthalpy of fusion for ice is 6kJmol^-1 and the molar mass is 18gmol^-1 (1)Calculate the pressure exerted by the student(weight, G=m x g, where g=9.81ms^-2 gravitational acceleration) (2)Calculate the melting point of ice at the given pressure by applying the Clapeyron equation (3)Compare the temperature of air and that of the calculated melting point and draw the conclusion
The density of a liquid is to be determined by an old 1-cm-diameter cylindrical hydrometer whose division marks are completely wiped out. The hydrometer is first dropped in water, and the water level is marked. The hydrometer is then dropped into the other liquid, and it is observed that the mark for water has risen 0.3 cm above the liquid–air interface. If the height of the original water mark is 12.3 cm, determine the density of the liquid.
