Question

A group of students are given a task to conduct an experiment in the laboratory to determine fluid properties. They filled the cylindrical can 160 mm in diameter with an oil to a depth of 110 mm.

i) If the oil have mass of 1.58 kg, compute its density, specific weight and specific gravity. 

ii) An open container with 120 mm width and 180 mm long is holding 75 mm depth of water. Then, the students continue their experiment by filling oil from cylindrical can into the container. Compute the pressure at the bottom of the container.
