A beaker of circular cross section of radius 4 cm is filled with mercury up to a height of 10 cm. Find the force exerted by the mercury on the bottom of the beaker. The atmospheric pressure `=10^5Nm^-2`. Density of mercury `=13600 kgm^-3. Take g10ms^-2`

The pressure at the surface
`=atmospheric pressure
`=10^5 Nm^-2`
`The pressure at the bottom
`=10^5Nm^-2+hrhog`
`=10^5Nm^-2+(0.1m)(13600kgm^-3)(10ms^-2)`
`=1.136xx10^5Nm^-2`
The force exerted by the mercury on the bottom
`=(1.136xx10^5Nm^I-2)xx(3.14xx0.04mxx0.04m)`
`=571N.

A cylindrical vessel of height 500mm has an orifice (small hole) at its bottom. The orifice is initially closed and water is filled in it up to height H. Now the top is completely sealed with a cap and the orifice at the bottom is opened. Some water comes out from the orifice and the water level in the vessel becomes steady with height of water column being 200mm. Find the fall in height(in mm) of water level due to opening of the orifice. [Take atmospheric pressure =1.0xx10^5N//m^2 , density of water=1000kg//m^3 and g=10m//s^2 . Neglect any effect of surface tension.]

Assuming that the atmosphere has a uniform density of (1.3kg//m^(3)) and an effective height of 10 km, find the force exerted on an area of dimensions 100mxx80m at the bottom of the atmosphere.
