Answer:

Pressure, P = 3724 Pa

Explanation:

Given that,

Depth of water, h_w=20\ cm =0.2\ m

Depth of oil, h_o=40-20=20\ cm=0.2\ m

The density of water, d_w=1000\ kg/m^3

The densinty of oil, d_o=900\ kg/m^3

We need to find the gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder. So, total pressure is equal to :

P=d_wgh_w+d_ogh_o\\\\P=(d_wh_w+d_oh_o)g\\\\P=(1000\times 0.2+900\times 0.2)\times 9.8\\\\P=3724\ Pa

So, the gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder is 3724 Pa.

<span>Scientific theories are tested and proven over time; they are then considered scientific laws.

Sometimes however, they are proven wrong, and so they do not become laws
