A solid cylinder of uniform density of 0.85 g/cm³ floats in a glass of water tinted light blue by food coloring. Its circular surfaces are horizontal. What effect will the following changes, each made to the initial system, have on X, the height of the upper surface above the water? The liquid's added do not mix with the water, and the cylinder never hits the bottom. Increase A liquid with a density of 0.76 g/cm³ is poured into the glass. Increase The cylinder is replaced with one that has the same height and diameter, but with density of 0.89 g/cm³. No change The cylinder is replaced with one that has the same density and height, but 1.5x the diameter. No change A liquid with a density of 1.06
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.
