A tank 5 m high is half filled with water and then is filled to top with oil of density `0.85 g//cm^3` The pressure at the bottom of the tank, due to these liquids is

A

`1.85xx10^3 "dyne/cm"^2`

B

`89.25xx10^3 "dyne/cm"^2`

C

`462.5xx10^3 "dyne/cm"^2`

D

`500xx10^3 "dyne/cm"^2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Pressure at the bottom `P=(h_1d_1 + h_2d_2) g/(cm^2)`
`=[250xx1+250xx0.85] = 250 [1.85] g/"cm"^2`
`=462.5 g/"cm"^2`
