.A tank contains oil sp. gr = 0.80, gasoline sp. gr = 0.90 and seawater sp. gr = 1.03. If
the depths of the liquids are 0.5m, 0.8m, and 1m for oil, gasoline and sea water,
respectively. Find the pressure at a depth of 1.8m.
A. 21.092 kPa
C. 16.04 kPa
D. 18.86 kPa
B. 10.104 kPa
Solution:
P = pgh
P = 0.8(998) (0.5) (9.8) + 0.9(998) (0.8) (9.8) + 1.03 (998) (0.5) (9.8)
P= 16.04 kPa
