A tank of oil has height of \(4 \mathrm{~m}\) and density of \(850 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\). The gauge pressure at the bottom of the tank is (1 atm \(=10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}\), Acceleration due to gravity \(=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) )

  1. A \(34 \mathrm{kPa}\)
  2. B \(384 \mathrm{kPa}\)
  3. C \(284 \mathrm{kPa}\)
  4. D \(200 \mathrm{kPa}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(34 \mathrm{kPa}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Tank of oil has height, \(h=4 \mathrm{~m}\) Density, \(\mathrm{P}=850 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3\) Gauge pressure, \(P=\rho \mathrm{gh}\) \(=850 \times 10 \times 4=34 \mathrm{kPa}\)
