Three identical vessels are filled up to the same height with three different liquids $A, B$ and $C$ of densities $\rho_A, \rho_B$ and $\rho_C$ (where $\rho_A > \rho_B > \rho_C$). The pressure at the bottom of the vessels is:

  • A
    equal in all vessels
  • B
    maximum in vessel containing liquid $C$
  • C
    maximum in vessel containing liquid $B$
  • D
    maximum in vessel containing liquid $A$

$A$ cubical block of wood, of length $10 \,cm$, floats at the interface between oil of density $800 \,kg/m^3$ and water. The lower surface of the block is $1.5 \,cm$ below the interface. If the depth of water is $10 \,cm$ below the interface and oil is up to $10 \,cm$ above the interface, then the difference in pressure at the lower and the upper face of the wooden block is:
