Question

oil storage tank: an oil storage tank is filled to a height of 12 meters. determine the hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of the tank. (oil density = 850 kg/m³) p = pa

Explanation:

Step1: Recall hydrostatic - pressure formula

$P =
ho gh$
where $P$ is pressure, $
ho$ is density, $g$ is acceleration due to gravity ($g = 9.8\ m/s^{2}$), and $h$ is height.

Step2: Substitute given values

$
ho=850\ kg/m^{3}$, $g = 9.8\ m/s^{2}$, $h = 12\ m$
$P=850\times9.8\times12$

Step3: Calculate the result

$P = 850\times9.8\times12=99960\ Pa$

Answer:

$99960$
