Question

Pressure of 200 kpa is equivalent to a head of x metre of carbon tetra chloride of relative density 1.59 where x is equal to

Answer 1

200 kPa = 200,000 Pa

200,000 Pa = 200,000 N/m²

Pressure in liquids is calculate by the formula:

P = αgh

Where P = pressure, α = density, g = force of gravity,  and h = height

Taking g = 10


αgh = 200,000

1590 x 10 x h = 200,000

h = 200,000/15900

h = 12.58 m



Height of carbon tetra chloride =  12.58 m
