You place an open bottle filled with olive oil (density 880 kg/m³) in a container filled with water so that the surfaces of both liquids are at the same level. The bottle has a hole in it 18cm below the surface that is initially closed with adhesive tape, as shown in (Figure 1). Figure O 1 of 2 > d Oil
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.

![Using Pascal's laws, predict what will happen when you remove the tape. Assume that the bottle is rigid and does not deform.
Because the pressure in the bottle is greater than in the container, oil will flow out from the bottle and float to the surface,
creating the layer above the surface of the water with a height of Ah until the pressure at the hole is the same inside and
outside the bottle.
Because the pressure in the container is greater than in the bottle, water will enter the bottle and sink to the bottom,
pushing the oil up a distance Ah until the pressure at the hole is the same inside and outside the bottle.
