Question

Problem 2: (15 pts) A 10-m high cylindrical container is half-filled at the bottom with water of density =1000 kg/m3 while the top half is filled with oil of specific gravity of 0.85. What is the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the container?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Delta p = 90.7 kPa$

Explanation:

specific gravity of oil is $= \frac{\rho_{oil}}{\rho_w}$

$\rho_{oil} = 0.85*1000 = 850 kg/m3$

we know that

change in pressure  for oil is given as

$\Delta p = \rho gh$

here density and h is for oil

$\Delta p = 850*5 *9.81 = 41,692.5 kPa$

change in pressure  for WATER is given as

$\Delta p = \rho gh$

here density is for water and h is for water

$\Delta p = 1000*5 *9.81 = 49,050 kPa$

pressure change due to both is given as

$\Delta p = 41692.3 + 49050 = 90742.5 N/m2$

$\Delta p = 90.7 kPa$
