Textbook Question
Chapter 12.1, Problem 3eT
Consider the following student dialogue:
| Student 1: | “The pressure at a point is equal to the weight of the water above divided by the area. Therefore the pressure at point R is greater than the pressure at point S because there’s no water above point S.” |
| Student 2: | “I agree. The pressure is , and h is zero for point S and greater than zero for point R. Therefore, the presser at R must; be greater.” |
Do you agree with either student? Explain your reasoning.

Please help me:
Part (a) If the pressure is measured in compartment C at PC = 1.69 atm and compartment A is open to the atmosphere, what is the height difference H2, in centimeters, in the manometer between B and C?
Part (b) What is the pressure in compartment D, in atm?
Part (c) If we were to replace compartment C and the manometers around it with a single manometer that went right from compartments B to D, what would the height difference be in this new manometer?
A cylindrical steel tank with a diameter of 20.0 cm, a length of 150.0 cm, and an overall mass of 150.0 kg is accidently dropped into a lake. What is the cylinder's density in g/cm3? Will it sink or float? Pure water has a density of 1 g/cm3. Show your work.
In (Figure 1), how much force does the fluid exert on the end of the cylinder at A? How much force does the fluid exert on the end of the cylinder at B?
