Question
Figure Q.3 shows a liquid reservoir that is density
stratified. The top layer has thickness b and uni-
form density pt. The middle layer has thickness
d and a linearly varying density given by
Pt
(") (h - b)
Pb - Pt
P(h) = Pt+
d
p(h)
for (b <h < b+ d),
where h denotes vertical depth below the free
surface. The bottom layer has uniform density
Pb
Pb > Pt.
Figure Q.3.
Use the information provided above and in Figure
Q.3 to derive the gauge pressure distribution for
the liquid in the reservoir.
