Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 21P
You are designing a machine for a space exploration vehicle. It contains an enclosed column of oil that is 1.50 m tall, and you need the pressure difference between the top and the bottom of this column to be 0.125 atm. (a) What must be the density of the oil? (b) If the vehicle is taken to Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 0.379g, what will be the pressure difference (in earth atmospheres) between the top and bottom of the oil column?
