    A tank 2 m high is half filled with water and then filled to the top with oil of density 0.60 g/cc. What is the pressure at the bottom of the tank due to these liquids?
     \[(Take\text{ }g\text{ }=\text{ }10\text{ }m\text{ }{{s}^{-2}})\]
     

    A) \[0.8\times {{10}^{2}}\text{ }N\text{ }{{m}^{-2}}\]

    B) \[0.8\times {{10}^{4}}\text{ }N\text{ }{{m}^{-2}}\]

    C) \[1.6\times {{10}^{2}}\text{ }N\text{ }{{m}^{-2}}\]

    D) \[1.6\times {{10}^{4}}\text{ }N\text{ }{{m}^{-2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Density of oil \[\text{(}{{\rho }_{o}}\text{)=0}\text{.60 g/cc = 600 kg/}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}\] Density of water \[({{\rho }_{w}})=1g/c{{m}^{3}}=1000kg/{{m}^{3}}\] Pressure due to water \[=h{{\rho }_{w}}g\] \[=1\times 1000\times 10=10000\text{ }N\text{ }{{m}^{-2}}\] Pressure due to oil \[=h{{\rho }_{o}}g\] \[=1\times 600\times 10=6000\,\,\text{N}{{\text{m}}^{\text{-2}}}\] Total pressure \[=10000+6000\] \[\text{= 16000 N }{{\text{m}}^{\text{-2}}}\text{=1}\text{.6 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{4}}}\text{ N }{{\text{m}}^{\text{-2}}}\]
