Question

Calculate the pressure exerted by a column

of water of height 0.85 m( ρw = 1000 kg /m³)

and kerosene of same height ( ρ k = 800

kg/m³)​

Answer 1

Answer:

water = 8500 Pa

kerosene = 6800 Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure =  ρgh

(h = height )

pressure by water = 1000 × 10 × 0.85 = 8500 N/m²

pressure by kerosene = 800 × 10 × 0.85 = 6800 N/m²
