Question

Calculate the pressure at the bottom of a tank which is 1.5 m in height and filled with alcohol.

(dalcohol = 800 kg/m3)

Answer 1

the pressure at the bottom of the tank is 12 kPa

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the pressure at the bottom of the tank is as follows:

as we know that

Pressure = hdg

where

H = Height

d = density

Now the pressure is

= 1.5m × 800 × 10

= 12,000 Pa

= 12 kPa

Hence, the pressure at the bottom of the tank is 12 kPa
