الصفحة 9 - ... surface below the surface of the fluid. A cylindrical vessel is filled with equal masses of two incompressible fluids which do not mix ; supposing the -whole pressures on the upper and lower portions of the concave surface of the vessel to be equal, compare their densities. 4. Prove that the resultant pressure of a fluid on the surface of a solid immersed in it is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced, and acts upwards in the vertical line through the centre of gravity of the fluid displaced....
