The axis of a cylindrical container is vertical. The containerisfilled with equal masses of water and oil. The oil floatson top ofthe water, and the open surface of the oil is at aheight habove the bottom of thecontainer. What is the height, h,if thepressure at the bottom of the water is 10 kPa greater thanthepressure at the top of the oil? Assume the oil density is875kg/m3.

A solid cylinder (radius=0.15m, height= 0.12 m) has a mass of 14 kg. It is in a container that has oil floating on top of water (density 1000 kg/m^3). At a particular isntant, a height of 0.0762 m of the cylinder is in oil and the remaining height (0.0438 m) is in water. The cylinder is found to be sinking with an acceleration of 4.9 m/s^2). What is the density of the oil?
