Question

What is the hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of a vessel in which water 30 cm high and gasoline 10 cm high have been poured? (density = 800)​

Answer 1

P = 3136 Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to apply in this case is :

P= rho*g*d where;

rho = density = 800

g = acceleration due to gravity =9.8 m/s²

d= depth = 10+30 =40 cm = 0.4 m

P= hydrostatic pressure

P= 800 * 9.8 * 0.4

P = 3136 Pa
