1. The water in the plumbing in a house is at a gauge pressure of 220,000 Pa. What force does this cause on the top of the tank inside a water heater if the area of the top is 0.3 m2? (Ignore atmospheric pressure.)
2. A viewing window on the side of a large tank at a public aquarium measures 52 in. by 62 in. The average gauge pressure from the water is 6 psi. What is the total outward force on the window?
3. A small statue is recovered in an archaeological dig. Its weight is measured to be 34.3 lb and its volume 0.07 ft3.
