Question
Transcribed Image Text:(a) Using the following figure, describe the concept of "Virtually Supported Weight".
Determine the equivalent height of mercury column to create same pressure at the base of
water container.
Width 5.0 m
Water
14.0 m
9.0 m
4.0 m
4.0 m
16.0 m
Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction
In the above-given problem, the pressure at the bottom of the container depends on the distance of the surface of the water from only the bottom and not on the area. So when determining the pressure on the bottom of the container, the only significant dimension that matters is the distance of the free surface of fluid from the bottom. So, using this concept, we will reach the required solution as given below in the Calculation Part.
