A cubical block of wood, 10.0 cm on a side, floats at the interface between oil and water with its lower surface 1.50 cm below the interface (Fig. E12.33). The density of the oil is 790 kg>m3 . (a) What is the gauge pressure at the upper face of the block

the gauge pressure at the upper face of the block is 116 Pa

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

A cubical block of wood, 10.0 cm on a side.

height h = 1.50 cm = ( 1.50 × ( 1 / 100 ) ) m = 0.0150 m

density ρ = 790 kg/m³

Using expression for the gauged pressure;

p-p₀ = ρgh

where, p₀ is atmospheric pressure, ρ is the density of the substance, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the depth of the fluid.

we know that, acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s²

so we substitute

p-p₀ = 790 kg/m³gh × 9.8 m/s² × 0.0150 m

= 116.13 ≈ 116 Pa

Therefore, the gauge pressure at the upper face of the block is 116 Pa

when heated, the valance electrons increased their speed and transferred the heat from electron to electron.   i just took the test.
