Explain atmospheric pressure and how pressure varies with altitude in the atmosphere.
The cylinder is now immersed in water, as illustrated in Fig. 3.2.
Fig. 3.2
An upthrust acts on the cylinder and the bar is not in equilibrium.
Explain the origin of the upthrust.
pressure changes with depth (in water)
or pressure on bottom (of cylinder) different from pressure on top
pressure on bottom of cylinder greater than pressure on top
or
force (up) on bottom of cylinder greater than force (down) on top
