40. Six hollow cylinders having diameters D and heights h are filled with water. The cylinders
all have a hole drilled in their sides; the holes are all me same size and are all located at the
same height above the bases of the cylinders. The holes are plugged with rubber stoppers,
The values of D and k for the six cylinders are provided. Rank the combinations according
to the pressure excited by the water on the stopper from largest to smallest. If two (or more) combinations yield the same pressure, give them the same ranking. Explain the reasoning you used in arriving at your rankings.
(a) D = 0.25 m; k = 0.40 m.
(b) D = 0.20 in; h = 0,50 m.
(c) D = 0.50 m; h = 0.35 m.
(d) D = 0.25 m; h = 0.35 m.
(e) D = 0.40 m; h = 0.50 m.
(f) D = 0.25 m; h = 0.60 m.

Thank youarrow_forwardThis physics problem (pictured below) was given to us on an ungraded practice worksheet. Because the island is floating, I know that the formula (ρ island)(Volume island)=(ρ saltwater)(Volume saltwater) can be used, but I cannot figure out what the volume of the island is. My work so far is pictured below.arrow_forward
