The container shown in the figure(Figure 1) is filled with oil. It is open to the atmosphere or What is the pressure at point A? ANSWER: 106 kPa What is the pressure difference between points A and B? What is the pressure difference between points A and C?

Explanation / Answer

here,

pressure at point aaaaA = 101325 + (density*9.8*0.5) = 106 kPa = 106000

=> density = 954.082Kg/m^3

so,

B.

954.082 * 9.8*0.5 = 4675 Pa

C.

954.082 * 9.8*0.5 = 4675 Pa
