Question:

A cork floats on the surface of an incompressible liquid in a container exposed to atmospheric pressure. The container is then sealed and the air above the liquid is evacuated. The cork:

A. sinks slightly  

B. rises slightly  

C. floats at the same height  

D. bobs up and down about its old position

The correct answer is C)  floats at the same height  

Explanation:

The liquid is incompressible because its density very high and leaves no room for further compaction whether or not there is atmospheric pressure. So when you put a cork on the liquid, pressure or no pressure, there is no displacement hence it floats on the same height regardless of the absence of air.

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

r = ρ x length / area  

ρ = r x area / length  

ρ is in ohm-meters  

in basic units, it is m³kg/s³a²  

i think this is it.
