Question

Problem 13P

CE Two drinking glasses, 1 and 2, are filled with water to the same depth. Glass 1 has twice the diameter of glass 2. (a) Is the weight of the water in glass 1 greater than, less than, or equal to the weight of the water in glass 2? (b) Is the pressure at the bottom of glass 1 greater than, less than, or equal to the pressure at the bottom of glass 2?

Solution

a.)

Step 1 of 2

We have to explain is the weight of the water in glass 1 greater than, less than, or equal to the weight of the water in glass 2, if two drinking glasses, 1 and 2, are filled with water to the same depth and glass 1 has twice the diameter of glass 2.

Since the diameter of glass 1 is twice the diameter, it can hold more volume of water as compared to glass 1. Hence, the weight of water in glass 1 is greater than the weight of the water in glass 2.

Therefore, the weight of water in glass 1 is greater than the weight of the water in glass 2.
