The pressure at the bottom of a full barrel of water is Poriginal . Determine what happens to the pressure when the radius or height of the barrel is changed and water is added to make the barrel full again.

a)   P' = P_original, b)  P ’= P_original + ρ  g Δh

Explanation:

The expression for nanometric pressure is

          P = ρ g h

where ρ  is the density of the liquid and h is the height

a) we change the radius of the barrel, but keeping the same height

as the pressure does not depend on the radius it remains the same

        P' = P_original

b) We change the barrel height

         h ’≠ h

we substitute in the equation

      P ’= ρ  g h’

      h ’= h + Δh

      P ’= ρ  g (h + Δh)

      P ’= (ρ  g h) + ρ  g Δh

      P ’= P_original + ΔP

In this case, the pressure changes due to the new height,

*if it is higher than the initial one, the pressure increases

*if the height is less than the initial one, the pressure is less

pe = weightxheight = 2000x1000=2,000,000joules

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
