    The document discusses three problems related to fluid properties and fluid statics: 1) calculating the density and pressure of seawater at a depth of 3000m given initial conditions, 2) determining the force on a gate holding back water in a channel, and 3) calculating the load lifted by pistons of different diameters in a hydraulic jack under two conditions.

    Problems on fluid properties and fluid statics

    1. The density of the sea water at free surface where pressure of 98 kpa is approximated to be 1030
    kg/m3. Taking bulk modulus of elasticity of sea water to be 2.3×109 N/m2and dp = 𝜌𝑔𝑑𝑧. Determine
    the density and pressure at a depth of 3000 m. Ignore the effect of temperature.

    2. A gate of negligible weight is used to hold back water in a channel of width b as shown in figure.
    The force of the gate against the block is

    3. The diameters of a small piston and a large piston of a hydraulic jack are 3cm and 10cm
    respectively. A force of 80 N is applied on the small piston. The density of the liquid in the jack is
    1000 kg/m3. Find the load lifted by the large piston when:

    (a) the pistons are at the same level

    (b) small piston is 40cm above the large piston
