How does pressure change with height? Do you have a formula handy? One involving the fluid density, the acceleration of gravity and the height of a section of fluid, perhaps?AmirWG said:

the only thing given is that the fluid in yellow is oil while the one in blue is water.jbriggs444 said:
so the pressure at point A is less than pressure at point B because the height at point B is greater than the height at point A ? right ?Mister T said:
No. Points A and B are at the same height. Are you familiar with the expression ##\rho gh##?AmirWG said:
A U-shaped tube problem is a physics experiment that involves two connected tubes filled with a liquid, such as water or mercury. The tubes are arranged in a U shape, with one end open and the other end closed. The experiment is used to demonstrate the principles of fluid pressure and fluid equilibrium.
To conduct a U-shaped tube problem, you will need two connected tubes, a liquid, a stand or support for the tubes, and a ruler or measuring device. You may also need a clamp or other device to control the flow of liquid in the tubes.
To set up a U-shaped tube problem, first fill the tubes with the chosen liquid. Then, connect the tubes at the top and secure them in a stand or support. Make sure the tubes are level and the liquid is at the same level in both tubes. Finally, use a clamp or other device to control the flow of liquid in the tubes.
The purpose of a U-shaped tube problem is to demonstrate the principles of fluid pressure and fluid equilibrium. By observing the changes in the liquid level in the tubes, you can see how the pressure of the liquid is affected by changes in height and the presence of air or other gases.
Some common variations of a U-shaped tube problem include using different liquids, changing the angle of the tubes, and adding objects or barriers to the tubes. These variations can help to further demonstrate the principles of fluid pressure and equilibrium in different scenarios.
