Question
Download Solution PDFAn oil of mass density 800 kg/m3 is contained in a vessel. Calculate the height of water required to develop an equivalent hydrostatic pressure as that developed by oil of height 30 m. Take acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m/sec2
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFExplanation:
Given:
Mass density of oil: 800 kg/m3
Acceleration due to gravity: 9.81 m/s2
Height of oil: 30 m
Mass density of water: 1000 kg/m3
Using Pascal's Law:
Pressure due to oil height = Pressure due to water height
\((\rho g h)_{\text{oil}} = (\rho g h)_{\text{water}} \)
\(800 \times 9.81 \times 30 = 1000 \times 9.81 \times h \\ h = 24 \, \text{m} \)
