1 The diagram shows a tall can containing water.

The can has three identical holes 1, 2 and 3 on one side, one above the other in a vertical line, as
shown in the diagram.

Water is shown flowing out of hole 2 and hole 3.

(a) State how the pressure of the water at hole 2 compares with the pressure of the water at
hole 3.

2 The diagram shows a submarine. The submarine is fully submerged in the sea.

3
The density of sea water is 1020 kg / m .

The atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa and the total pressure on the top surface of the submarine
is 500 kPa.

Calculate the depth of the top surface of the submarine below the surface of the sea.

depth = .............................................. [3]

3 The diagram shows a submarine. The submarine is fully submerged in the sea.

The total pressure on the top surface of the submarine is 500 kPa.
2
A hatch (an opening door) on the top surface of the submarine has an area of 0.62 m .

Calculate the downward force on the hatch due to the total pressure on the top surface of the
submarine.

force = .............................................. [2]
