Kerosene was poured into the vessel. Determine the height of the column of kerosene

Kerosene was poured into the vessel. Determine the height of the column of kerosene if it exerts a pressure of 160 kPa on the bottom of the vessels.

Given:

P = 160 kPa (translated into SI) = 160,000 Pa;

p = 800 kg / m³ is the density of kerosene.

Find:

h -?

Solution:

From the formula P = p * g * h, where P is the pressure, p is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration of gravity, h is the height of the liquid column, we express the height: h = P / (p * g) = 160000 / (800 * 10) = 20 m;

Answer: The height of the kerosene column is 20 meters
