find the pressure at the bottom of a vessel 76cm deep filled with glycerin (sp.gr 1.26)

Answer 1

We can use the formula:

pressure = density × gravity × height

where:

density = specific gravity × density of water
gravity = acceleration due to gravity
height = depth of the vessel

The density of water at 4°C is 1000 kg/m3. Converting the height to meters:

height = 76 cm = 0.76 m

Substituting the values:

density = 1.26 × 1000 = 1260 kg/m3
gravity = 9.81 m/s2

pressure = 1260 × 9.81 × 0.76 = 9264.6 Pa

Therefore, the pressure at the bottom of the glycerin-filled vessel is 9264.6 Pa.
