$A$ 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:
(Assume density of water, $\rho_w = 1000 \,kg/m^3$ and acceleration due to gravity, $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,Pa$)

  • A
