Question

A W - shaped piece of glassware is partially filled with water as shown. Point X is at the same height as the water level in the center of the tube. for each of the following points, state whether the pressure is greater than. less than, or equal to atmosphere pressure. Explain your reasoning. point w point x point y point z A U-tube is partly filled with water. Oil is then poured on top of the water on one side. The final water levels on both sides are as shown. The surface of the oil is not shown. Points A and D arc at the same level: points B and C are at the same level. Is the pressure at point B greater than, less than, or equal to the pressure at point C Explain. Will the pressure at the top surface of the oil be greater than, less than, or equal to the pressure at point D Based on your answers to parts a and b. will the top surface of the oil be above. Mow or at the same height as the top surface of the water Explain how your answer is consistent with p = p_0 + pgh

Explanation / Answer

PART 1

AT W = Pressure will be more than Atomospheric pressure

AT X = Pressure will be more than Atomospheric pressure

AT Z = Pressure will be more than Atomospheric pressure

AT Y = Pressure will be same as Atomospheric pressure

PART 2)

Pressure at B is same as pressure at C

Pressure at top of oil is equal to pressure of D andequal to atmospheric presure

Top surface of oil is above point D
