Assignment 5 ( Pressure )
1. What is the pressure on a swimmer at 10 m below the surface
of a
a. Rectangular shaped lake?
b. Conical shaped lake?
c. Regular water well?

2. A swimming pool of width 9.0 m and length 24.0 m is filled with

water to a depth of 3.0 m. Calculate pressure on the bottom of
the pool due to the water.

3. 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)

4. The pressure gauge on a submarine in a river was reading

100kPa, when it was at the surface. The sailor notices that the
gauge is reading now 250kPa, how deep is he ? How would the
result will change if he were diving in sea water that is slightly
denser then the fresh water.

5. In a hydraulic press a force of 20 N is applied to a piston of area

0.20 m2. The area of the other piston is 2.0 m2. What is

a. the pressure transmitted through the liquid?

b. the force on the other piston?
