Calculate the pressure exerted by a column of water of height `0.85` m (density of water, `rho_(w) = 1000 kg m^(-3)`) and kerosene of same height (density of kerosene, `rho_(k) = 800 kg m^(-3))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Pressure due to water = `h rho_(w) g = 0.85 m xx 1000 kg m^(-3) xx 10 m s^(-2) = 8500 `Pa.
Pressure due to kerosence = `h rho_(k) g = 0.85 m xx 800 kg m^(-3) xx 10 ms^(-2) = 6800 ` Pa .
