Cylinders of Water-Pressure on the Plug 1 9 The figures below show side views of eight hollow cylinders that have varying amounts of water in them, The widths of the cylinders and the heights to which they have been filled with water vary. The cylinders all have a hole cut in the side. All of the holes are the same size and they are all at the same height above the bases of the cylinders. There are corks in all of the holes Rank these situations, from greatest to smallest, on the basis of the pressure on the cork by the water 40 cm 36 cm 48 cm 36 cm 25 cm 40 cm 20 cm 50 cm 48 cm 40 cm 60 cm 36 em 50 cm 25 cm 25 cm 40 cm Greatest123_4_ _ 7- 8-- Smallest Greatest I Or, the pressure is the same for all these cases.

Explanation / Answer
pressure = density of water * g * height.
H>( F=C) > ( A = G) > ( B= D= E)
by arranging in decending order of height
