Textbook Question
Chapter 26.1, Problem 1dTH
1. A U-tube filled with water is closed on one end. The tube is about one meter tall. When water is removed from the open end, the water level in the closed end does not change.
d. Suppose instead that the tube ¡s much taller than 1.0 m. Calculate the distance above point E at which the pressure in the water would be zero (i.e., find the height of water above point E).
