Determine the pressure of kerosene at the bottom of the tank if it is filled to a height of 165 m.

Initial data: h (height of kerosene in the tank) = 165 cm = 1.65 m.

Reference data: g (acceleration of gravity) = 10 m / s ^ 2; ρк (kerosene density) = 800 kg / m ^ 3.

The pressure that creates kerosene at the bottom of the tank can be determined by the formula: P = ρк * g * h.

Let’s calculate: P = 800 * 10 * 1.65 = 13 200 Pa = 13.2 kPa.

Answer: Kerosene creates a pressure of 13.2 kPa at the bottom of the tank.
