The square prism, whose short sides are 35 cm x 35 cm and whose long side is 70 cm, is plunged in such a way that the upper surface is 140 cm below the water surface. Since the density of this square prism is 7850 kg m³; Find the force required to hold this square prism upright in this position, along with its direction.

An oil gusher shoots crude 25.0 m the through a pipe with a 0.100-m diameter. Neglecting resistance but not resistance of the pipe, and assuming laminar flow, calculate pressure at be entrance of be 50.0-m-Iong vertical pipe. Take of the oil to be 900 kg/m3 and its viscosity to be 100(N/m2) s (or 1.00 Pa s). Note that you must take into account the pressure due to 50.0-m column of oil in pipe.
