Answer:
53.08 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The pressure at the bottom of the tank, P = ρgh where ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = depth of water in tank.
Since the pressure at the bottom of the tank, P = ρgh, making h subject of the formula, we have
h = P/ρg
Since P = 23 psig = 23 × 1 psig = 23 × 6894.76 Pa = 158579.48 Pa
Substituting the values of the other variables into h, we have
h = P/ρg
h = 158579.48 Pa/(1000 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s²)
h = 158579.48 Pa/(9800 kg/m²s²)
h = 16.18 m
h = 16.18 × 1 m
h = 16.18 × 3.28 ft
h = 53.08 ft
0.01x=0.6
0.01x/0.01=0.6/0.01
x=0.6/0.01 (simplify)
x=60
