Question

A tank 5m. high is filled with water then in filled to the top with of density 0.85g/cm3. The pressure at the bottem of the tank due to tehse liquid is

give ans. with formula

Open in App
Solution

Pressure at the bottom of the tank(P)= pressure by water level + pressure by the other liquid
= h 1 d1 g + h2 d2 g

Given that
h1 = h2 = 2.5m = 250 cm (suppose half filled with water and half filled with other liquid)

d1 = 1 g/cm3

d 2 = 0.85 g/cm3

g = 981 cm/s2

P = 981(1 x 250 + 0.85 x 250)

=> P = 981x 250 x 1.85

=> P = 453712.5 dyn/cm2
