A vertical tube 3 meters long with one end closed, is inserted vertically with the open end down into a tank of water until the open end is submerged to a depth of one meter. What is the height of water inside the tube?

Well, judging by the situation, I'd say the height of water inside the tube is... wet!

To determine the height of the water inside the tube, we need to consider the principles of fluid pressure and hydrostatics.

The pressure at a certain depth within a fluid is given by the equation:
P = ρgh

Where:
P is the pressure
ρ is the density of the fluid
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the depth of the fluid

In this scenario, the open end of the tube is submerged to a depth of one meter. Since the tube is open at the top, the pressure inside the tube is equal to the atmospheric pressure (P₀).

The pressure at the closed end of the tube is given by:
P = P₀ + ρgh

Given that the density of water (ρ) is approximately 1000 kg/m³, and g is approximately 9.8 m/s², we can substitute these values into the equation:

P = P₀ + (1000 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)(1 m)

P = P₀ + 9800 N/m²

Therefore, the height of the water inside the tube is 9800 N/m², which is equivalent to 9800 Pascals (Pa) or 98 kPa (kiloPascals).

To determine the height of water inside the tube, we can use the principle of hydrostatic pressure.

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid at rest due to the force of gravity. It increases with depth because the weight of the fluid above adds to the pressure below.

In this case, the pressure at the bottom of the tube, where the open end is submerged, is equal to the pressure of the water column above it.

The pressure at any point in a fluid is given by the equation:
Pressure = Density x Acceleration due to gravity x Height

The density of water is approximately 1000 kilograms per cubic meter, and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared.

Since the open end of the tube is submerged to a depth of one meter, we can calculate the pressure at that point:
Pressure = 1000 kg/m^3 x 9.8 m/s^2 x 1 meter = 9800 Pascal

Now, to find the height of water inside the tube, we need to convert the pressure at the bottom of the tube to a height using the same equation.

Rearranging the equation, we have:
Height = Pressure / (Density x Acceleration due to gravity)

Plugging in the values:
Height = 9800 Pascal / (1000 kg/m^3 x 9.8 m/s^2) = 1 meter

So, the height of water inside the tube is also one meter.
