A block sits on a plate that in turn rests on the surface of a fluid as

Question:

A block sits on a plate that in turn rests on the surface of a fluid as shown in Figure P10.11. The plate is partially submerged in the fluid, its area is 0.30 m², and there is air at atmospheric pressure P_atmabove the block and liquid. If the mass of the block and plate together is 12 kg, what is the pressure P in the fluid just below the plate? Express your answer as P - P_atm.
