Question: W 4 th 1 5 . 1 9 : Pascal's Barrel. A circular wine barrel 7 1 . 0 c m in diameter will burst

W4th 15.19: Pascal's Barrel. A circular wine barrel 71.0cm in diameter will burst if the net upward force exerted on the top of the barrel is 623N. A tube 1.30cm in diameter extends into the barrel through a hole in the top, as indicated in the figure. Initially, the barrel is filled to the top and the tube is empty above that level.
a) What weight of water must be poured into the tube in order to burst the barrel?
b) This weight corresponds to a burst pressure. How does it compare with atmospheric pressure? Evaluate the ratio of the burst pressure to atmospheric pressure.
(Answers: 0.209N and 1.02)
