What is the pressure exerted by oil on the bottom of the tank if the height of the oil column is 5 m?

h = 5 m
g = 10m / s2
ρ = 800 kg / m3
R -?
A hydrostatic pressure P acts on the bottom of the tank, the value of this pressure is determined by the formula P = ρ * g * h, where ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration of free falling, h is the height of the liquid. P = 800 kg / m3 * 10m / s2 * 5m = 40,000 Pa.
Answer: oil exerts a pressure of 40,000 Pa at the bottom.
