Marbles dropped into a partially filled bathtub sink to the bottom. Part of their weight is supported by buoyant force, yet the downward force on the bottom of the tub increases by exactly the weight of the marbles. Explain why.
If the absolute pressure at the interface between water andmercury in Fig. is 93 kPa, what, in lbf/ft 2 , is ( a ) thepressure at the surface and ( b ) the pressure at the bottom ofthe container?
If the rectangular tank full of water in Fig. P3.37 has itsright-hand wall lowered by an amount δ , as shown, waterwill fl ow out as it would over a weir or dam. we deduced that the outfl ow Q would be given byQ = C b g1/2δ3/2where b is the tank width into the paper, g is the accelerationof gravity, and C is a dimensionless constant. Assumethat the water surface is horizontal, not slightly curved as inthe fi gure. Let the initial excess water level be δ o . Derive aformula for the time required to reduce the excess waterlevel to ( a ) δ o /10 and ( b ) zero.
