Real items, with the answer marked and the reason written out — the same format as all 423.
What is the gauge pressure at a depth of 10 m in water (density 1000 kg/m^3, g = 9.81 m/s^2)?
Why: Hydrostatic pressure p = rho·g·h = 1000 x 9.81 x 10 = 98,100 Pa = 98.1 kPa. Pressure increases linearly with depth and is independent of the container's shape.
What is the derivative of f(x) = 3x^3 - 5x evaluated at x = 2?
Why: Differentiate term by term: f'(x) = 9x^2 - 5. At x = 2, f'(2) = 9(4) - 5 = 36 - 5 = 31. The power rule d/dx(x^n) = n·x^(n-1) is the core single-variable calculus tool tested on the FE.
