What pressure is exerted on the bottom of the vessel by a layer of kerosene 40 cm high?

Data: h (kerosene layer height) = 40 cm = 0.4 m; g (acceleration due to gravity) = 9.81 m / s2; ρк (kerosene density) = 800 kg / m3.

The pressure created by kerosene at the bottom: P = ρк * g * h = 800 * 9.81 * 0.4 = 3139.2 Pa.

Answer: At the bottom of the vessel, a layer of kerosene creates a pressure of 3139.2 Pa.
