sorry i connot help u
The density of the solvent is 2498 kg/m³.
Given: The depth of the storage tank = 12.5 m
The pressure at the bottom of the storage tank due to the solvent was 306 kPa.
To Find: The density of solvent.
Solution:
- We know that the formula to calculate the density of a solvent is given by,
P = hρg ....(1)
where, P = pressure, h = height or depth, ρ = density, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².
Coming to the numerical, we are given that,
The depth (h) of the storage tank = 12.5 m
The pressure (P) at the bottom of the storage tank=306 kPa =306000 Pa
Putting respective values in (1), we get,
P = hρg
⇒ 306000 = 12.5 × ρ × 9.8
⇒ ρ = 306000 / ( 12.5 × 9.8 )
= 2498 kg/m³
Hence, the density of the solvent is 2498 kg/m³.
