Problem 1: One end of a U-tube that contains water is open to the atmosphere, but the other end is closed. When some air is trapped in the closed end, the difference in the height of the water, h, shown in the figure, is 14.0 cm. Assume the outside air pressure is 0.960 atm. (a) What is the absolute pressure of the trapped air? h (b) What is the gauge pressure of the trapped air?

The 12-ft wide quarter-circular gate AB is hinged at A. Determine the contact force between the gate and the smooth surface at B due to water pressure acting on the gate. Use =62.4lb/ft3 for water.
Bottle was filled with water and a hole is punched in the bottle.When the bottle is closed, water does not come out of the hole. However, when the bottle is open, water comes out of the hole. Other information would be - Atmospheric pressure is 1 atm (101325 Pa) - Assume bottle is 20 cm and the hole is on the 10 cm above the bottom of the bottle (use it as reference level) Define the pressure(s) acting at the hole when the bottle is open and calculate total pressure. Define the pressure(s) acting at the hole when the bottle is closed and calculate total pressure. Using the results from part a and b, why does water come out when the bottle is open and why does not it come out when the bottle is closed?
A compressed air tank is designed to contain 50 standard cubic feet of air when filled to a gaugepressure of 200 atm at an ambient temperature of 70 F. Assume this is an air tank for scubadiving, and that the approximate shape of the tank is a cylinder with circular cross section. The interior volume of the tank is v=0.253 ft^3(a) If the interior length of the cylinder is 1 ft, what would be the inner diameter?(b) It is desired that the air tank be neutrally buoyant when empty. The density of aluminum is2700 kg/m3. If the tank is made of aluminum, what should be the wall thickness in order forit to be neutrally buoyant?
