A vertical column of oil (density \(800\ \text{kg m}^{-3}\)) of height \(0.25\ \text{m}\) rests on top of a column of water of unknown height \(h\). The pressure measured at the bottom of the water column is \(2.5\times10^{4}\ \text{Pa}\) (gauge). (a) Find the height \(h\) of the water column. (b) A piston of area \(0.020\ \text{m}^2\) is placed at the bottom. Determine the force exerted on the piston by the fluid. Give \(h\) to two decimal places and the force to the nearest newton.

Correct Answer C. h = 2.35 m, F = 500 N
D. h = 2.35 m, F = 480 N
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
h = 2.35 m, F = 500 N
