- 1. The U-tube in the figure contains two liquids in static equilibrium: Water of density pw = 998 kg/m³ is in the right arm, and oil of unknown density px is in the left. Measurement gives l = 135 mm and d the density of oil. = 12.3 mm. What is Oil Water- Interfacearrow_forwardA cubical block of wood 1010 cmcm on a side, floats at the interface between oil and water with its lower surface 1.51.5 cmcm below the interface. The density of the oil is 790790 kg/m3kg/m3. What is the gauge pressure at the upper face of the block? What is the gauge pressure at the lower face of the block? What are the mass and density of the block?arrow_forwardYou come across an open container that is filled with two liquids. Since the two liquids have different densities, there is a distinct separation between them. Water, which has a density of ?w=1.00×103 kg/m3, fills the lower portion of the container to a depth of 0.215 m. The fluid that is floating on top of the water is 0.307 m deep. If the absolute pressure on the bottom of the container is 1.049×105 Pa, what is the density, ?l, of the unknown fluid? The acceleration due to gravity is ?=9.81 m/s2 and atmospheric pressure is ?0=1.013×105 Pa.arrow_forward
