A cylindrical disk of wood weighing 45.0 N and having a diameter of 30.0 cm floats on a cylinder of oil of density 0.850 g>cm3 (Fig. E12.19). The cylinder of oil is 75.0 cm deep and has a diameter the same as that of the wood. (a) What is the gauge pressure at the top of the oil column

665.25 Pa

Explanation:

Given data :

Weight of the disk, w = 45 N

Diameter, d = 30 cm

                    = 0.30 m

Therefore, radius of the disk,

   = 0.15 m

Now, area of the cylindrical disk,

∴ The gauge pressure at the top of the oil column is :

      = 665.25 Pa

Therefore, the gauge pressure is 665.25 Pa.

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.
