A U-shaped tube is open to the air at one end and closed on the other. It initially contains water. Oil is poured into the open end of the tube, to a height of 75 cm. The closed end of the tube is 25 cm above the water/oil interface on the other side (see picture).

A metre long narrow bore held horizontally (and closed at one end) contains a 66 cm long mercury thread, which traps a 18 cm column of air. What happens if the tube is held vertically with the open end at the bottom ?
A 0.527 kg metal cylinder is placed inside the top of a plastic tube, the lower end of which is sealed off by an adjustable plunger. The cylinder comes to rest some distance above the plunger. The plastic tube has an inner radius of 6.56 mm and is frictionless. Neither the plunger nor the metal cylinder allow any air to flow around them. If the plunger is suddenly pushed upwards, increasing the pressure between the plunger and the metal cylinder by a factor of 1.35, what is the initial acceleration ? of the metal cylinder? Assume the pressure outside of the tube is 1.00 atmand that the top of the tube is open to the air.

A copper (with density of 8.96 g/cm3) bullet is placed in a pool of mercury (with density of 13.56 g/cm3). What fractional part of the volume of the bullet is submerged?
A container with water is pressurized and attached to a hose. The pressure inside the container, P, is set so that when the end of the tube is 4.5 meters above the water level in the container is ejected at 3.5 m/s. The reservoir in the container is large enough that you can ignore the change in height of the water in the container. What is the pressure P in atmospheres?
A 25 m tall pipe, closed at the bottom, but open at the top to the atmosphere (which is at a pressure of 1.013 × 105 Pa), is filled to the brim with oil, resulting in the pressure at the bottom of the pipe being 2.0 × 105 Pa. The oil is then poured out and the pipe is then filled to the brim with pure water. ii) What is the pressure at the bottom when the pipe is filled to the brim with the water? a) 2.0 × 105 Pa b) 2.5 × 105 Pa c) 3.0 × 105 Pa d) 3.5 × 105 Pa e) 4.0 × 105 Pa
A 0.504 kg metal cylinder is placed inside the top of a plastic tube, the lower end of which is sealed off by an adjustable plunger. The cylinder comes to rest some distance above the plunger. The plastic tube has an inner radius of 5.88 mm and is frictionless. Neither the plunger nor the metal cylinder allow any air to flow around them. If the plunger is suddenly pushed upwards, increasing the pressure between the plunger and the metal cylinder by a factor of 3.03, what is the initial acceleration a of the metal cylinder? Assume the pressure outside of the tube is 1.00 atm and that the top of the tube is open to the air.
Initially, we have a fluid of density ρ in a tube open at both ends and bent in U. An insoluble liquid of density ρ´> ρ is added to it at the extreme right. The column on the left rises 8 cm and the top of the column on the right is 2 cm deep from the top of the column on the left. The density ρ´ is? (image 2 answers)
A 0.458 kg metal cylinder is placed inside the top of a plastic tube, the lower end of which is sealed off by an adjustable plunger. The cylinder comes to rest some distance above the plunger. The plastic tube has an inner radius of 6.90 mm and is frictionless. Neither the plunger nor the metal cylinder allow any air to flow around them. If the plunger is suddenly pushed upwards, increasing the pressure between the plunger and the metal cylinder by a factor of 2.07, what is the initial acceleration a of the metal cylinder? Assume the pressure outside of the tube is 1.00 atm and that the top of the tube is open to the air. a = m/s?
