8. Piston A has a cross section of 1200 cm². While that of piston B
is 950 cm², with the latter higher than the other by 1.75 m. If the
intervening passages are filled with oil whose specific gravity is
0.80, what is the difference in pressure between A and B.
9. The percentage of volume of an object having a density of 950
kg/m³ submerged in water is:
10. A steel gate 2.0 m high and 1.6 m wide has its topmost side 1.4
m below the water surface. What is the pressure at the bottom of
the gate if the gate is inclined at 60 degrees from the horizontal?
