What pressure does kerosene create on the bottom of a barrel whose height is 1.2m?

The pressure created by the kerosene at the bottom of the barrel is calculated using the formula:

Р = ρ * g * h, where ρ is the density of kerosene (according to the table ρ = 800 kg / m3), g is the acceleration of gravity (we take g = 10 m / s2), h is the height of the barrel, the column of kerosene (h = 1 , 2 m).

Let’s calculate the pressure at the bottom of the barrel:

P = ρ * g * h = 800 * 10 * 1.2 = 9600 Pa = 9.6 kPa.

Answer: Kerosene creates a pressure of 9.6 kPa at the bottom of the barrel.
