41
() Since P=ρgh, therefore the height of mercury in the barometer depends on the density of liquid and
the atmospheric pressure without any effect of the cross sectional area of the tube.
42
() That is because liquids are incompressible.
43
() Since the body is floats therefore the weight of body is equal to the weight of displaced liquid,
therefore the total weight and the total mass of the container remains constant. While if the body
sink, the weight of displaced liquid is less than the weight of body by the value of apparent weight,
therefore the total weight of the container will increase by the value of apparent weight.
44
() Because gases are compressible.
45
() That is because the weight of the body is equal to the weight of displaced liquid, and since the
apparent weight is the difference between weight of body and weight of displaced liquid (upthrust
force), therefore the apparent weight is equal to zero.
46
() That is because the weight of the floating body is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid.
47
() That is due to the high density of mercury, and since the height depends on the density of liquid
inversely proportional, therefore the height of mercury will be short, and more practically to be
used. (P=ρgh)
48
() Water is preferable in manometers because its density is much lower than that of mercury, so the
difference in height is obvious and can be measured accurately.
49
() Since the apparent weight = weight – up thrust force, and since weight = up thrust force,
therefore apparent weight equal zero.
50
() When the up thrust force acting on a body is greater than the real weight.
51
() Due to the pressure difference of the liquid on the lower and the upper surfaces of the body.
52
() Since the pressure is inversely proportional with the area, therefore the needle must have pointed
end to decrease the area increasing the pressure.
53
() Since the pressure is inversely proportional with the area, therefore the tyer must have large area
to decrease the pressure.
54
() Since P=ρgh, therefore pressure is directly proportional to the depth.
55
() Since the pressure is directly proportional to the depth, therefore increasing the depth will
increase the pressure and that required wide dam to overcome the pressure.
56
() Because liquids are uncompressible while gases are comprisable.
57
() Since the weight of the ship is constant, and since the ship floats, therefore the upthrust force,
which is equal to the weight is remains constant, since Fb = ρgv, therefore the density of liquid is
inversely proportional to the volume of immersed part, since the density of salty water is greater
than that of fresh water, therefore the ship will rise a little to decrease the volume of immersed part.
58
() Because the pressure depends on the height and the density of liquid only.
59
() The atmospheric pressure equals the pressure resulting from a force of 1.013x105 N vertically on
unit area at the sea level.
60
() 400 is the ratio between the area of large piston to the area of the small piston.
61
() 8.8 is the ratio between density of cupper and that of water, measured at the same temperature.
62
() It means that the pressure of that gas equal 2 x 1.103 x 105 N/m2, if the atmospheric pressure is at
NPT, or the pressure of the gas is twice the atmospheric pressure.
63
() 2x105 N is the normal average force acting on unit area surrounding this point.
64
() 1000 Kg is the weight of unit volume of water.
65
() The pressure resultant for the weight of air column at this point is equivalent to the pressure
resulting from mercury column of height 78 cm.
66
() The weight of the floating body = the weight of the liquid displaced by the floating body = 20 N.
67
() 100 is the ratio between the area of the large piston to the area of the small piston.
68
() 2.7 is the ratio between density of Aluminum to the density of water at the same temperature.
69
() ¼
70
() Pressure increase, while up thrust force remains constant.
71
() It is the mass per unit volume, Kg/m3.
72
() It is the average normal force acts per unit area surrounded this point.
73
() A pressure applied to a liquid enclosed in a container is transmitted undiminished to every portion
of the liquid and the walls of the container

74
() A body immersed wholly or partially in a fluid (liquid or gas) experiences an up thrust force in
the vertical direction equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid displaced by the body
75
() It is the ratio between the densities of a material, to the density of water, at the same temperature
76
() Pascal principle.
77
() The volume of balloon will increase due to the decrease of pressure at the moon surface, because
the gravitational acceleration at moon is smaller than that at earth.
78
() No thing will happen.
79
() There are three factors affect the volume in this case: a) the density of water (molten ice) is
greater than that of ice, therefore the volume decrease. B) The floating part of ice at the water
surface will compensate the decrease of the volume. C) The decrease of temperature will increase
the density decreasing the volume, therefore finally the volume of water decrease.
