Four static microfluidic tracks open to the atmosphere at the top.
Four static microfluidic tracks open to the atmosphere at the top.
Four static microfluidic tracks are open to atmospheric pressure \(P_0\) at their top surfaces and contain stationary incompressible fluids, as shown in the diagram. Track 1 contains a fluid of density \(2\rho\). Track 2 contains two immiscible fluid layers of densities \(\rho\) and \(3\rho\). Track 3 contains a fluid of density \(\rho\) in a channel with a slanted section angled at \(30^\circ\) to the horizontal. Track 4 contains a fluid of density \(2\rho\) in a channel featuring a wide upper reservoir of cross-sectional area \(3A\) connected to a narrow lower neck of area \(A\). Which of the following correctly ranks the total hydrostatic pressures \(P_W, P_X, P_Y,\) and \(P_Z\) at the marked nodes?
