The 3 m high tank is completely filled with acetone. Read the acetone pressure at the side tap

The 3 m high tank is completely filled with acetone. Read the acetone pressure at the side tap, 25 cm from the bottom of the tank.

The hydrostatic pressure of the column of acetone at the level of the side valve can be expressed by the formula:
P = ρ * g * h, where P is the acetone pressure at the level of the side valve (Pa), ρ is the density of acetone (ρ = 790 kg / m ^ 3), g is the acceleration of gravity (g = 9.8 m / s ^ 2), h is the height of the acetone column at the level of the side tap.
Since the side valve is located 25 cm (0.25 m) from the bottom of the tank, then h = 3 – 0.25 = 2.75 m.
P = ρ * g * h = 790 * 9.8 * 2.75 = 21290.5 Pa ≈ 21.3 kPa.
Answer. The acetone pressure at the side valve is 21.3 kPa.
