What is the pressure difference between points A and B?

What is the pressure difference between points A and C?

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

Explanation / Answer

pressure at A = 1 atm + (density)(g)(h)

= 101.325 + (1000)(9.81)(50x10^-2)

= 106 kPa

pressure difference between A and B = (density)(9.81)(100 - 50)x10^-2

= 1000 x 9.81 x 50x 10^-2

= 4905 Pa

pressure diff between A and C = same as between A and B because pressure is equally distributed at that level= 4905 Pa
