Draw a diagram showing the temperature of various layers of water in an ice covered pond.

Fig. 4.11 shows a cube of each side 15 cm immersed in a tube containing water of density 10^(3) kg m^(-3) such that its top surface is 20 cm below the free surface of water. Calculate (i) the pressure at the top of cube, (ii) the pressure at the bottom of cube, (iii) the resultant pressure on cube. (iv) the resultant thrust on cube. Take atmospheric pressure = 10^(5) Pa and g=9.8 N kg^(-1) .
