1. A body floats in a vessel countaining water. The distance of body from water surface is 15 cm.

Calculate the hydrostatic pressure at this point if known water density 1000 kg/m 3 and earth
gravitational acceleration 10 m/s 2?

2. A swimming pool is 2 meters in depth. If the pressure of external air (atmosfer) above water
level is 1,01 x 105 Pascal, water density 1000 kg/m3, and gravitational acceleration 10 m/s 2,
calculate the total (the absolute) pressure at the pool base?

3. A U-shaped pipe, one of its foot filled with oil, while the other one filled with water. If the oil
column is 12 cm in height if oil density = 800 kg/m 3 and water density = 1000 kg/m3. What is
height difference between oil and water surface?

4. A U-shaped pipe, one of its foot filled with mercury, while the other one filled with alcohol. If the
alcohol column is 20 cm in height and height difference between mercury and alcohol surface
is 18,84 cm, what is the alcohol density, if mercury density = 13,6 g/cm 3?

5. A hydraulic car has two pistons with each section area is A1 = 100 cm2 and A2 = 2000 cm2.
What is the minimum magnitude of force F1 that must be given on section A1 so that the car
weighing 15000 N can be lifted?
