A container consists of two vertical cylindrical columns of
different diameters connected by a narrow horizontal section, as
shown in the figure. The open faces of the two columns are closed
by very light plates that can move up and down without friction.
The tube diameter at A is 35.0 cm and at B it is 10.2 cm. This
container is filled with the oil of a density of 0.850 g/cm3. If a
150-kg object is placed on the larger plate at A, how much mass
should be placed on the smaller plate at B to balance it?
