The height of the beaker is 20 cm. It is filled with kerosene, the density of which is 800 kg / m3.

The height of the beaker is 20 cm. It is filled with kerosene, the density of which is 800 kg / m3. Determine the pressure at the bottom of the beaker.

Task data: h (beaker height, kerosene column height) = 20 cm (0.2 m).

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

The pressure exerted by kerosene at the bottom of the beaker is determined by the formula: Р = ρк * g * h.

Calculation: P = 800 * 10 * 0.2 = 1600 Pa = 1.6 kPa.

Answer: Kerosene will exert a pressure of 1.6 kPa.
