Question: An open - ended can 0 . 2 m tall is originally full of air at 2 0 C . It is now immersed in

An open-ended can 0.2m tall is originally full of air at 20C. It is now immersed in water upside down, such that its top (now its bottom) is 10m below the water surface.
The can is 0.2m in height. What is the density (kgm3) of the air in the submerged can? Assuming the air stays at 20C, how high will the water rise in the can?
