![Se tienen dos depósitos de liquido A y B comunicados entre sí mediante
un tubo, como se aprecia en la figura.
La base de A es de 75 cm2 y la de B es de 30 cm2. La densidad del
aceite es de 0.8. ¿Cuántos kilogramos de aceite hay que poner en el depó-
sito B para que las diterencias de nivel entre el agua de las dos ramas sea
de 15 cm? ¿Qué punto soporta más presión, C o C'?
