 2.8 Tutorial test problem (Q1 – 8 min)
Consider a U-tube whose arms are
open to the atmosphere. Now
water is poured into the U-tube
from one arm, and light oil (ρ=
790 kg/m3) from the other. One
arm contains 70-cm-high water,
while the other arm contains both
fluids with an oil-to-water height
ratio of 4. Determine the height
of each fluid in that arm. [8 marks]
Ans: hw2=0.168 m, hoil = 0.673 m

P1 = P2
F1/A1 = F2/A2
F2/F1 = A2/A1

2.8 Tutorial test problem (Q2 – 7 min)
A hydraulic lift is to be used to lift a 2500 kg weight by
putting a weight of 25 kg on a piston with a diameter of
10 cm. Determine the diameter of the piston on which
the weight is to be placed. [7 marks]
