A U-shaped tube is open to the atmosphere on both ends. Water is poured into the tube, followed by oil, which floats on the water because it is less dense than water. The density of water is 1000 kg/m³ and the density of the oil is 750 kg/m³. If h₁ = 46 cm, what is h₂, in cm? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.

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.

Question

A U-shaped tube is open to the atmosphere on both ends. Water is poured into the tube, followed by oil, which floats on the water because it is less dense than water. The density of water is 1000 kg/m³ and
the density of the oil is 750 kg/m³. If h₁ = 46 cm, what is h₂, in cm?
Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already

The atmospheric pressure at the time the video was taken was recorded by the National Weather Service as 30.10 inches of mercury, with the alternative measure of a sea level equivalent 1018.8 bar. What was the atmospheric pressure in the laboratory (we are only a few km from the Weather Service's station) in SI units? The standard unit of pressure is the pascal. For atmospheric pressure it is conventional to use kPa, kilopascal. Why is there a difference between the measured pressure locally and the sea level equivalent, apart from the continued use of imperial units for barometric pressure.
