Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 14P
An inverted cylindrical container is lowered slowly beneath the surface of a pool of water. Air trapped in the container is compressed isothermally as the hydrostatic pressure increases. Develop an expression for the water height, y, inside the container in terms of the container height, H, and depth of submersion, h. Plot y/H versus h/H.

A barrel is filled with two unknown fluids. The total hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of the barrel is 6.51 kPa. If the pressure of fluid 1 is twice as the pressure produced by fluid 2, find the specific gravity of the denser fluid if it occupies 2/3 of the barrel’s height. The height of the barrel is 0.5m. (The shape of the barrel is uniform).
1.
Consider a conic reservoir of unit depth that is initially filled with water at the height of h = 200 mm. A rigid
cuboid block, with dimensions of 10 cm x 5 cm x 3 cm, is then dropped into the water. When the equilibrium state is
reached, the block floats on the water's surface, as shown in the figure. If the specific gravity of the block is 0.5,
determine the change in the free surface position of the water, i.e., Ah, in mm.

Hint: You can calculate the volume of liquid inside the conic reservoir with a unit depth in terms of the liquid height as
V = th³/3.
