a tank is 3 m long 1 m wide and 0.5 m deep is filled with oil which weighs 12000 N

what is the pressure on the base at tank due to oil?

Verified Answer :

AL2006

Area of the bottom = L x W = 3 x 1 = 3 square meters. Pressure = force/area = 12000/3 = 4000 N/square meter = 4 kPa. Since we know the weight of the oil, we don't need to know the depth.

The pressure at the base of the tank due to oil is 4000 N/m².

The Pressure at the base of the tank can be calculated using the formula below.

Formula:

  • P = F/A................... Equation 1

Where:

  • P = Pressure at the bottom of the tank
  • F = Weight of the oil
  • A = Area of the base of the tank.

From the question,

Given:

  • F = 12000 N
  • A = Length×width = 3×1 = 3 m²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • P = 12000/3
  • P = 4000 N/m²

Hence, the pressure at the base of the tank due to oil is 4000 N/m²
