A tank 5 m high is half filled with water and then is filled to the top with oil of density 0.85 g/cm 3 . The pressure at the bottom of the tank, due to these liquids is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Pressure at the bottom $P = (h_1 d_1 + h_2 d_2) \frac{g}{cm^2}$
$= [250 \times 1 + 250 \times 0.85] = 250 [1.85] \frac{g}{cm^{2}}$
$= 4625 \frac{g}{cm^{2}}$
