Asked by Joel seth

A tank 4m long, 3m wide and 2m is filled to the brim with paraffin. (density 800kg /m3) calculate the pressure on the base.
Answered by bobpursley
pressure=weight/area
= 24m^3*800kg/m^3*9.8N/kg *1/12m^2
= 2*800*9.8 Pascals

Thanks alot it really helped me and I found this very helpful but can you do me a favour and please tell me how you had 9.8N/Kg
Answered by Ryan Kannikkatt
9.8N/Kg is the gravitational field strength of the Earth to two significant figures. Hope this helps!
Answered by nadine
why is the gravitational field strength sometimes 9.8 and sometimes 10?? like its different in some of my equations?
