Chapter $2$: Fluid Pressure

Student Exercise

E$2\mathrm{.}1-$ A cylinder of $0\mathrm{.}25$ m diameter and $1\mathrm{.}2$ m height is fixed centrally on the top of a large cylinder of $0\mathrm{.}9$ m diameter and $0\mathrm{.}8$ m height as shown in fig. E$1.$ below. Both cylinders are filled with water. Calculate

$($i$)$ Total pressure at the bottom of the bigger cylinder; and

$($ii$)$ Weight of total volume of water.

Answers; $($i$)19620\frac{N}{m^2}($ii$)5571$ N
