Oil was poured into a beaker. Find the density of the oil if the height of the oil column

Oil was poured into a beaker. Find the density of the oil if the height of the oil column is 2 cm, and the pressure it exerts on the bottom of the beaker is 160 Pa

The hydrostatic pressure of the oil at the bottom of the beaker can be expressed in the formula:
Р = ρ * g * h, where Р – value of oil pressure (Р = 160 Pa), ρ – oil density (kg / m ^ 3), g – acceleration due to gravity (g = 10 m / s ^ 2), h – the height of the oil column (h = 2 cm = 0.02 m).
Let us express and calculate the density of the oil:
ρ = P / (g * h) = 160 / (10 * 0.02) = 800 kg / m ^ 3.
Check: kg / m ^ 3 = Pa / ((m / s ^ 2) * m) = (kg / m * s ^ 2) / (m ^ 2 / s ^ 2) = kg / m ^ 3.
Answer. The density of the oil is 800 kg / m ^ 3.
