While on a camping trip, a man would like to carry water from the lake to his campsite. He fills two, non-identical buckets with water and attaches them to a 1.11 m long rod. Since the buckets are not identical, he finds that the rod balances about a point located at a length I = 0.0655 m from its midpoint, as shown. The weight of the rod and empty buckets is negligible compared to the weight of the water, and the buckets are not shown to scale. Which bucket holds more water? bucket 2 They hold the same amount of water. bucket 1 How much more water does the heavier bucket contain, expressed as a percentage? 20.2 percentage: % Incorrect
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.
Cannot figure out the percentage, and it is not 21.11% either.
![**Concept of Balancing and Torque**
**Scenario:**
While on a camping trip, a man wants to carry water from a lake to his campsite. He fills two non-identical buckets with water and attaches them to a 1.11 m long rod. Since the buckets are not identical, the rod balances around a point located at a length \( l = 0.0655 \, \text{m} \) from its midpoint, as illustrated. The weight of the rod and empty buckets is negligible compared to the weight of the water, and the buckets are not shown to scale.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows a horizontal rod with two buckets labeled 1 and 2 hanging at each end. The rod rests on a pivot point located slightly off-center towards bucket 1, at a distance of 0.0655 m from the midpoint of the rod.
**Question:**
Which bucket holds more water?
- [ ] bucket 2
- [ ] They hold the same amount of water.
- [x] bucket 1
**Further Calculation:**
How much more water does the heavier bucket contain, expressed as a percentage?
**Incorrect Answer:**
20.2%
In the calculation box provided, a user entered 20.2% which was marked incorrect. Users should re-evaluate their calculations and understanding of torque and balancing forces to determine the correct percentage difference in water between the two buckets.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2909b4bc-a111-45af-b820-d81bef522703%2Fd8aa6ab4-24b8-4e6a-8948-81cdb214b842%2Fohdltzw_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
