A 0.170 kg cube of ice (frozen water) is floating in glycerin. The glycerin is in a tall cylinder that has inside radius 5.50 cm. The level of the glycerin is well below the top of the cylinder. If the ice completely melts, by what distance does the height of liquid in the cylinder change? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the surface of the water is above the original level of the glycerin before the ice melted and negative value if the surface of the water is below the original level of the glycerin.
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
