9. A U-shaped tube of uniform bore, of which the curved part is a semicircle 12 inches in length, is placed in an upright position, and contains as much mercury as fills 15 in. of its length, and as much water above the mercury on one side as fills 41 in. more. If the difference of level between the two mercurial surfaces is 3 in. nearly, what is the s.g. of mercury, and what is approximately the height of a column of water, which will produce a pressure equal to that at the bottom of the tube? 10. Prove that, when a body floats in a fluid, the weight of the fluid it displaces is equal to the weight of the body. 11. Show that the fluid pressure on any surface immersed in a uniform fluid at rest under the action of gravity, will be equal to that on a plane surface of equal area immersed in the same fluid, in a horizontal position, and at the same depth as the centre of gravity of the proposed surface. 12. A hollow cube, with four of its sides vertical, is filled with water. If one of the vertical sides were to become entirely detached from the base and the two adjoining sides, find the magnitude, direction, and point of application of the single force which would preserve the unattached side in its position.
