Seawater is stored under pressure in a tank of horizontal cross-sectional area 4.5 m^2. The pressure above the seawater in the tank is 7.2 x 10^5 Pa, and the pressure at the bottom of the tank is 1.2 x 10^6Pa. What is the mass of the seawater in the tank? Assume that the seawater is incompressible, and has a density of 1.03 x 10^3 kg/m^3.
