Homework Statement
A test tube standing vertically in a test-tube rack contains 2.5 cm of oil (ρ=0.81 g/cm3) and 6.5 cm of water. What is the pressure exerted by the two liquids on the bottom of the test tube?
Homework Equations
P=ρgh
ρ=density of a fluid=mass/volume
g=gravity
P=F/A
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't know how to start this problem. I think I'm supposed to be using density of a fluid, I'm not sure. If that's the case, I know density of water=1000 kg/m^3
