Kerosene exerts a pressure of 1600 Pa at the bottom of the tank. What is the height of the kerosene in the tank?

The height of the kerosene in the tank can be calculated from the formula:

P = ρ * g * h, where P is the specified pressure of kerosene at the bottom of the tank (P = 1600 Pa), ρ is the density of kerosene (according to the table, ρ = 800 kg / m3), g is the acceleration of gravity (we take g = 10 m / s2), h is the desired height of kerosene in the tank.

Let us express from the formula and calculate the height of the kerosene in the tank:

h = P / (ρ * g) = 1600 / (800 * 10) = 0.2 m = 20 cm.

Answer: The height of the kerosene in the tank is 0.2 m or 20 cm.
