Pressure in Fluids – Practice

density of water = 1000kg/m3

1. A tank is filled with oil, density 875kg/m 3, to a depth of 7.0m. On the bottom is a
circular inspection hatch, diameter 0.75m.
Calculate:
(i) the pressure on the hatch,
(ii) the force on the hatch. (60kPa, 27kN)

2. A research submarine has a 30cm diameter window. The manufacturer says the
window can withstand forces up to 1.2×10 6N. The pressure inside the submarine is
maintained at atmospheric pressure.
Calculate the submarine’s maximum safe depth in salt water,
density 1025kg/m3. (1690m)

3. A simple lifting jack has a pump piston 12mm diameter and a load piston 60mm
diameter, The load being lifted is 8.0kN.
Calculate:
(i) the pressure in the oil,
(ii) the force needed on the pumping piston. (2.8MPa, 320N)

4. Water fills a tank, which has the profile


shown. Sketch a graph of the gauge
pressure moving along the base of the
tank ABC.

5. When a U-tube manometer, containing oil of relative


density 0.80, is connected to a gas supply, the levels
change as shown. The scale is in cm.

Calculate the gauge pressure of the gas supply. (314Pa)
