At the bottom of a large cylindrical tank filled with fresh water the gauge pressure is 11.6 psi. What is the height (in feet) of the tank to one decimal place

Respuesta :

Answer:

8.19m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Pressure, P= 11.6 psi = 79979.185 Pa

Gauge pressure is given as:

P = h*d*g

=> h = P/(d*g)

Where

h = height of tank

d = density

g = acceleration due to gravity

Density of water = 997 kg/m³

Therefore, the height of the tank is:

h = 79979.185/(997 * 9.8)

h = 8.19m
