$A$ cubical block of wood, of length $10 \,cm$, floats at the interface between oil of density $800 \,kg/m^3$ and water. The lower surface of the block is $1.5 \,cm$ below the interface. If the depth of water is $10 \,cm$ below the interface and oil is up to $10 \,cm$ above the interface, then the difference in pressure at the lower and the upper face of the wooden block is:
(Assume density of water, $\rho_w = 1000 \,kg/m^3$ and acceleration due to gravity, $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,Pa$)

$A$ cylindrical vessel of base radius $R$ and height $H$ has a narrow neck of height $h$ and radius $r$ at one end (see figure). The vessel is filled with water (density $\rho_w$) and its neck is filled with immiscible oil (density $\rho_0$). Then,the pressure at

Three different liquids are filled in a $U$-tube as shown in the figure. Their densities are $\rho_1, \rho_2$ and $\rho_3$ respectively. From the figure,we may conclude that:

Two communicating vessels contain mercury. The diameter of one vessel is $n$ times larger than the diameter of the other. $A$ column of water of height $h$ is poured into the left vessel. The mercury level will rise in the right-hand vessel ($s =$ relative density of mercury and $\rho =$ density of water) by

The limbs of a $U$-tube are lowered into vessels $A$ and $B$,where vessel $A$ contains water. Some air is pumped out through the top of the tube at $C$. The liquids in the left limb (in vessel $A$) and the right limb (in vessel $B$) rise to heights of $10\, cm$ and $12\, cm$ respectively above the free surfaces of the liquids in the vessels. The density of liquid $B$ is ........ $g/cm^3$.

$A$ vessel with a square cross-section and a height of $6 \ m$ is vertically partitioned. $A$ small window of $100 \ cm^2$ with a hinged door is fitted at a depth of $3 \ m$ in the partition wall. One part of the vessel is filled completely with water and the other side is filled with a liquid having a density of $1.5 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$. What force needs to be applied on the hinged door so that it does not open (in $N$)? (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m/s^2$)
