Textbook Question
Chapter 12.1, Problem 1cT
Imagine that a small hole is opened in the container wall near the bottom of each layer.
1. Predict what will happen to the water near each hole. Explain.
2. Check your prediction by observing the demonstration. Record your observations. (Asketch may be helpful.)
What do your observations suggest about: (1) the existence of horizontal forces on thethree layers of water in pan A? (2) the relative magnitudes of the horizontal forces onthe three layers?
If necessary, revise your free-body diagrams in part A so that they are consistent withyour answers.

A large tank has a tube coming out of it like a straw, as shown in the picture below. The tube of water is entirely full and closed at the end on the right, while the tank is open to the air.
Rank the pressures at points N, U, C, L, E, A, and R (using <, >, and =). Explain your reasoning.
How does the pressure at point R compare with the atmospheric pressure immediately outside of the straw? Explain your reasoning.
Describe what would happen if you held the right end of the straw (near point R) in place and poked a hole in the end of it. (This is how a siphon works.) Explain your reasoning. (A video of you doing this experiment yourself could be submitted as evidence of your reasoning.)

At a depth of 10.9 km, the Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench of the Pacific Ocean is the deepest site in any ocean. Yet, in 1960, Donald Walsh and Jacques Piccard reached the Challenger Deep in the bathyscaph Trieste. Assuming that seawater has a uniform density of 1024 kg/m3,
a. approximate the hydrostatic pressure (in atmospheres) that the Trieste had to withstand.
b. What is the absolute pressure on that depth (in kPa(a))?
Which one of the entries below describe Torricelli's experiment ?
Please choose one:
a.Take two hemispheres of identical dimension, with leak proof flanges on the rim, close them onto each other and evacuate the air inside. Then apply a gradually increasing force to open and record the magnitude of the force that overcomes the atmospheric pressure and opens the hemispheres apart.
b.Fill a bowl with mercury, dip a glass pipe into it while holding it vertical and measure the height of mecrury column starting from the bottom of the bowl.
c.Fill a glass tube of length about a meter completely with mercury, close the tip with a finger, turn it upside down and dip the open end into a bowl of mercury. Then remove the finger, while keeping the pipe vertical and measure the distance between the surface of the mercury in the bowl and the top of the mercury column inside the tube.
d.Take a vertical cylinder of about 20 cm diameter and 1 meter length, bottom end closed and fit a piston to it which…
