3. 
draw a schematic for problem 

3. A tank is filled citric acid solution. Citric acid can easily be oxidized. The top of the tank is covered with a layer of oil to prevent oxidation of the citric acid solution. The tank diameter is 2.5 m. The tank is open to the atmosphere. The height of the oil layer in the tank is 0.1 m (oil density = 910 kg/m3). The height of the citric acid layer in the tank is 10 m (citric acid density=1000 kg/m3). What will be the pressure at the bottom of the tank? Tank is open to atmosphere and the atmospheric pressure is 101.325 kPa.
