Question

A 0.140 m high cylinder

is filled with mercury

(density = 13600 kg/m^3).

What is the pressure at the

bottom of the cylinder?

Answer 1

Answer: 119959.2 Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer works for Acellus!

Answer 2

The value of pressure inside the cylinder is 18.68 K Pa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Height h = 0.14 m

Density
`\rho` = 13600
`(kg)/(m^(3) )`

We know that

Pressure inside the cylinder is given by the formula

P =
`\rho` g h ------- (1)

here

`\rho` = density of fluid = 13600
`(kg)/(m^(3) )`

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81
`(m)/(s^(2) )`

h = height of the cylinder = 0.14 m

Put all the values in above equation

P = 13600 × 9.81 × 0.14

P = 18678.24 Pa

P = 18.68 K Pa

Therefore the value of pressure inside the cylinder is 18.68 K Pa
