Suppose small, spherical pieces of pasta are floating in a column of water at a temperature of 298 K, in an experiment similar to Perrin's. Using a microscope, you are able to count the number of pieces of pasta per litre. You position the microscope at a height of 6.0 cm above the bottom of the water column and you count 130 pieces of pasta. You next move to a position that is 15.0 cm above the bottom of the column, and you count 65 pieces of pasta. How many pieces of pasta would you find 20.0 cm above the bottom of the column?

A basketball is pressurized to a gauge pressure of PG = 75 kPa when at the surface of a swimming pool. (Patm = 101 kPa). The ball is then submerged in the pool of water which has a density ρ = 1000 kg/m3. Assume the ball does not change in mass, temperature, or volume as it is submerged. a) Calculate the absolute pressure inside the basketball in kPa when it is at the surface. b) Solve the pressure equation for the depth (in meters) at which the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the ball will become zero. At this depth the pressure inside the basketball is the same as the pressure outside the ball. c) At what depth, in meters, would the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the ball be zero if the ball were submerged in mercury (ρ = 13,500 kg/m3) instead of in water?
