1. What is the difference between the hydrostatic pressure of blood between the
brain and the soles of the feet of a person whose height 165 cm (suppose the
density of blood = 1.0 × 103 kg/m3, acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s2)
Known :
Solution :
P=ρgh
P = (1.0 × 103)(10)(1.65) x
P = (1.0 × 104)(1.65)
Pipe U
2. A U pipe is initially filled with water than on one pipe filled with oil, as shown
in the figure below. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. If the height of oil is 8
cm and the height of the water is 5 cm, what is the density of oil?

3. A U pipe was first filled with kerosene then added water. If the mass of
kerosene is 0.8 grams/cm3 and the density of water is 1 gram/cm3 and the cross
sectional area is 1.25 cm2. Determine how much water should be added so that
the height difference of the kerosene surface is 15 cm
A. 9 ml
B. 12 ml
C. 15 ml
D. 18 ml
Known :
Solution :
ρ1 g h1 = ρ2 g h2
(0,8)(15)(1)(h2)
h2 = 12 cm x
Volume of water :
V = 15 cm3
4. A pipe U filled with water with density of 1000 kg/m3. One column of pipe U
filled with glyserin with density of 1200 kg/m3. If the height of glyserin is 4 cm,
determine the height difference of both columns of the pipe.
A. 0.8 cm
B. 4 cm
C. 8 cm
D. 12 cm
Known :
Solution :
ρ1 h1 = ρ2 h2
(1000)(h1) = (1200)(4)
(1000)(h1) = 4800
h1 = 4.8 cm
5. A pipe U has two ends are open filled with water with a mass of 1 g/cm3. The
sectional area along the pipe is the same, that is 1 cm2. Someone blows on one
end of the foot of the pipe so that the surface of the water at the other foot rises
10 cm from its original position. If the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2 then
determine the force acted by that person.
A. 20 kilodyne
B. 10 kilodyne
C. 2 kilodyne
D. 1 kilodyne x
Known :
Volume of moved water (V) = (A)(h) = (1 cm2)(10 cm) = 10 cm3 = (101)(10-6 m3)
= 10-5 m3
Solution :
The force that acted by that person = weight of water with a height of 10 cm
F=w
F=ρVg
F = (103)(10-5)(101)
F = (104)(10-5)
F = (10-1)(105 dyne)
F = 104 dyne
F = 10 kilodyne
6. A Y-shaped tube is inserted upside down so that the left foot and right foot are
immersed in two kinds of liquid. After both feet are immersed in the liquid, then
the top of the Y pipe is closed with the finger and pulled upwards, so that the two
legs of the Y pipe are filled with a column of different high-density liquids. If the
density of the first liquid is 0.80 gram.cm-3 and the second density is 0.75
gram.cm-3, and the lower liquid column is 8 cm, then determine the height
difference between the two liquid columns on U pipe.
A. 1.0666 cm
B. 0.9375 cm
C. 0.3533 cm
D. 0.5333 cm

Wanted : The height difference between the two liquid columns on U pipe
Solution :
ρ1 h1 = ρ2 h2
(0.80)(8) = (0.75)(h2)
h2 = 6.4 / 0.75
Buoyant force
7. A stone with the volume of 0.5 m3 placed in a liquid with the density of 1.5 gr
cm–3. Acceleration due to gravity is 10 m s-2. What is the buoyant force?
Known :
Volume of stone (V) = 0.5 m3 x
Solution :
Float
8. A block of ice float in the sea as shown in the figure below. The density of sea
is 1.2 gr cm–3 and density of ice is 0.9 gr c–3. The volume of ice in sea water =
……. x the volume of ice in the air.
Known :
Wanted: The volume of ice in sea water = ……. x the volume of ice in the air.
Solution :
The volume of ice in sea water = 3 x the volume of ice in air (3 x 0.25 = 0.75).
9. An object float in a liquid where 2/3 of the object in the liquid. If the density of
the object is 0.6 gr cm3, then what is the density of water.
Known : x
Solution :
10. A wood float in water, where 3/5 part of wood in the water. If the density of
water is 1 × 103 kg/m3, what is the density of wood?
