A homogeneous solid cylinder of length L...

A homogeneous solid cylinder of length L(LltH/2), cross-sectional area A/5 is immersed such that it floats with its axis vertical at the liquid-liquid interface with length L/4 in the denser liquid as shown in the figure. The lower density liquid is open to atmosphere having pressure `P_0`. Then density D of solid is given by

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

a. For equilibrium of the cylinder,
Weight of the cylinder `=` weight of the liquid displaced
`implies L(A/5)Dg=(3L)/3(A/5)dg+L/4(A/5)2dg`
This gives `D=3/4d+d/2` or `D=5/4d`
b. Total pressure at the bottom of cylinder is
`P= ("weight of liquids" + "weight of cylinder")/A+P_(0)`
`=([Ad(H/2)g+A2d(H/2)g]+A/5(5/4d)Lg)/A+P_(0)`
`=((6H+L)/4)dg+P_(0)`
Here we are asked to find the total pressure at the bottom of the container and not only the hydrostatic pressue, hence, we need to consider the total weight of liquid and cylinder in the container.

    Fluids at rest exert a normal force to the walls of the container or to the sruface of the body immersed in the fluid. The pressure exerted by this force at a point inside the liqid is the sum of atmospheric pressure and a factor which depends on the density of the liquid, the acceleration due to gravity and the height of the liquid, above that point. The upthrust acting on a body immersed in a stationary liquid is the net force acting on the body in the upward direction. A number of phenomenon of liquids in motion can be explain by Bernoulli's theorem which relates the pressure, flow speed and height for flow of an ideal incompressible fluid.
