As Shown in the Figure, a Large Open Tank Contains  (density 450 kg/m3 ) \text { (density } 450 \mathrm {~kg} / \mathrm { m } ^ { 3 } \text { ) }

Question 71

Short Answer

As shown in the figure, a large open tank contains a layer of oil  (density 450 kg/m3 ) \text { (density } 450 \mathrm {~kg} / \mathrm { m } ^ { 3 } \text { ) }
floating on top of a layer of water  (density 1000 kg/m3)\text { (density } \left. 1000 \mathrm {~kg} / \mathrm { m } ^ { 3 } \right)
that is 3.0 m thick, as shown in the sketch. What must be the thickness of the oil layer if the gauge pressure at the bottom of the tank is to be 8.5×104 Pa?8.5 \times 10 ^ { 4 } \mathrm {~Pa} ?
