Determine the pressure of kerosene at the bottom of the tank, If the level of kerosene in the tank is 2 m

Determine the pressure of kerosene at the bottom of the tank, If the level of kerosene in the tank is 2 m, and the density of kerosene is 800 kg / m ^ 3.

Task data: h (kerosene level in the tank) = 2 m.

Constants: g (acceleration due to gravity) 9.81 m / s2 ≈ 10 m / s2; by condition we take ρк (kerosene density) = 800 kg / m3

The pressure of kerosene at the bottom of the tank can be calculated by the formula: P = ρ * g * h.

Let’s calculate the pressure: P = 800 * 10 * 2 = 16000 Pa (16 kPa).

Answer: Kerosene will create a pressure of 16 kPa at the bottom of the tank.
