Textbook Question
Chapter 12.1, Problem 3eT
Consider the following student dialogue:
Student 1: | “The pressure at a point is equal to the weight of the water above divided by the area. Therefore the pressure at point R is greater than the pressure at point S because there’s no water above point S.” |
Student 2: | “I agree. The pressure is , and h is zero for point S and greater than zero for point R. Therefore, the presser at R must; be greater.” |
Do you agree with either student? Explain your reasoning.

If the depth of the block immersed in the liquid is d what is the volume of the block immersed in liquid?
