Three objects of equal volume but different mass are completely submerged in a liquid.
They may float, sink, or remain suspended; we don't know.
Rank the magnitudes of the buoyant forces on these objects."FB₃" refers to the bouyant force on the 3kg object, and so on
Suppose the liquid and its objects in the previous question are in hydrostatic and mechanical equilibrium, respectively.
Which of the following is correct regarding the pressures at the locations A, B, and C t the bottom of the tank of liquid?
A. The pressure at Point A is greatest, because it has the largest column of water above
B. The pressure at Point C is greatest, because it has a heavy mass immediately above
C. The pressure at Point A is greatest, because it has the largest mass above it
D. The pressures at Points A, B, and C are equal because the pressures provided by each mass are applied throughout the entire fluid and they are at equal depths
E. The pressures at Points, A, B and C are equal because the masses above average out to 4kg at evenly - staggered depths
