  1. Question 1

    Q1. The pressure at the bottom of a tank is 2 x 10^4 Pa. If the density of the liquid is 800 kg/m³, what is the height?

    • A) 2.55 m
    • B) 2.55 x 10^-1 m
    • C) 2.55 x 10^-2 m
    • D) 2.55 x 10^-3 m

    Answer: 2.55 m

    Explanation: h = P / ρg = 2 x 10^4 Pa / (800 kg/m³ * 9.8 m/s²) = 2.55 m; correct application of pressure formula.
