An oil tank has a base of area 2.5 m2 and is filled with oil to a depth of 1.2 m. The density of the
1 answer:
Answer:
D. F = 24000[N]
Explanation:
To be able to calculate the force we must first find the pressure at the bottom of the tank. By means of the following equation:
where:
Ro = density of the liquid = 800 [kg/m³]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
h = elevation = 1.2 [m]
Pressure is defined as the relationship between Force on the area.

. To get the same number of hydrogens on both sides, the coefficient should be 2.
(Then the number of oxygens will be consistent, since contributes 2 oxygens, and so does
