A fluid filled container is shown below.  Oil fills the left side of the “U” to a depth of 33.0 cm while water fills the rest.  The oil has a density of 753 kg/m3.  The radius of the tube on the left side is 27.0 cm and the radius of the tube on the right side is 38.0 cm.   a. If the height of the fluid in the two cylinders is exactly the same, what mass should be placed on the left cylinder to balance the system. b. What is the pressure at the bottom of the oil when the system is balanced? c. If the mass on the left is removed, what is the difference in heights between the two sides?
