Physics Topical Question

The document discusses density and pressure in liquids. It describes an experiment where a thistle funnel is immersed in different liquids (water, alcohol, glycerin) and the difference in water level is measured. A graph of the difference in water level vs. liquid density shows a direct proportional relationship, supporting the hypothesis. Applications of pressure in liquids discussed include reservoir construction, liquid transfusion, water tank location, and water fountains.
