Kerosene was poured into the container. Determine the height of the column of kerosene, if its density is 800 kg | m3 in a cube, and the pressure exerted by it on the bottom of the container is 160 kPa.

Initial data: P (pressure that kerosene exerts on the bottom of the tank) = 160 kPa (160 * 10 ^ 3 Pa).

Reference data: g (acceleration due to gravity) ≈ 10 m / s2; by condition ρк (kerosene density) = 800 kg / m3.

We express the height of the column of kerosene in the container from the formula: Р = ρк * g * h, whence h = Р / (ρк * g).

Calculation: h = 160 * 10 ^ 3 / (800 * 10) = 20 m.

Answer: The required height of the kerosene column is 20 meters.
