This document contains a science exam for students covering topics in physics such as density, pressure, and buoyancy. The exam has three parts - multiple choice questions, problem solving questions, and essay questions. The multiple choice section contains 11 questions testing understanding of concepts like density, pressure at different depths of water, buoyant force, and units of pressure. The problem solving section presents 3 physics problems involving calculations of pressure, density, and force. Finally, the essay questions ask students to explain principles of pressure in hydraulic machines, pressure cookers, and discuss sources of pressure in life.

2. Test II. Problem Solving
Direction: Analyze each question and answer/solve each correctly. Always show your solution.
1. A brim was filled with water containing 17 gallons (77.28 L|) of water in 4 m height. You happened to submerge
yourself as you take your bath, how much pressure did you put on the water on the brim if your mass is 38 kg and the
volume of water that spilled was 17 L?
2. The same situation with number one, solve for your density.
3. How much force is needed on a small piston with an area of 7 centimeter square to support 1700N weight resting on a
piston of area 27 cm2? (Hint: find F1)
Test III. Essay
Direction: Answer all the given questions comprehensively. Don’t skip these items. Observe formality.
