The answer to your question is b. Particles
Answer:
I'm pretty sure it's air pressure.
Explanation:
The total gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder would
simply be the sum of the pressure exerted by water and pressure exerted by the
oil.
The formula for calculating pressure in a column is:
P = ρ g h
Where,
P = gauge pressure
ρ = density of the liquid
g = gravitational acceleration
h = height of liquid
Adding the two pressures will give the total:
P total = (ρ g h)_water + (ρ g h)_oil
P total = (1000 kg / m^3) (9.8 m / s^2) (0.30 m) + (900 kg /
m^3) (9.8 m / s^2) (0.4 - 0.30 m)
P total = 2940 Pa + 882 Pa
P total = 3,822 Pa
Answer:
The total gauge
pressure at the bottom is 3,822 Pa.
