$462.5$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The total height of the tank is $H = 5 \,m = 500 \,cm$.Since the tank is half-filled with water,the height of the water column is $h_1 = 250 \,cm$.The remaining half is filled with oil,so the height of the oil column is $h_2 = 250 \,cm$.The density of water is $d_1 = 1 \,g/cm^3$ and the density of oil is $d_2 = 0.85 \,g/cm^3$.The pressure at the bottom due to the liquid column is given by $P = h_1 d_1 + h_2 d_2$.Substituting the values: $P = (250 \,cm 	imes 1 \,g/cm^3) + (250 \,cm 	imes 0.85 \,g/cm^3)$.$P = 250 + 212.5 = 462.5 \,g/cm^2$.

$A$ tank $5 \,m$ high is half filled with water and then is filled to the top with oil of density $0.85 \,g/cm^3$. The pressure at the bottom of the tank,due to these liquids is ........ $g/cm^2$.
