Homework Statement



assuming points 1 and 2 are on the horizontal line, and the green portion has a greater density than blue rank the pressure points??

Homework Equations



pressure = rho x g x height


The Attempt at a Solution



i was thinking 3> (1=2)

  • Hand-drawn U-tube diagram with a dashed yellow horizontal line across both arms; the left arm holds a green fluid layer on top of blue fluid, and the right arm holds blue fluid, with the blue fluid connected across the base.

You need to think about this again.

If the density of the fluid in the green region, differs from the blue region, then the pressure at the same height beneath the surface will be different.
