To find the pressure at the bottom of the tank, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We know that the water tank is 20 meters deep. The barometer reads 10 meters at the surface of the water. This indicates the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the water. ### Step 2: Identify the pressures Let: - \( P_0 \) be the atmospheric pressure at the surface (which corresponds to the 10 m barometer reading). ...
