Answer:
3.33 m
Explanation:
Pressure is the distributed force applied to the surface of an object per unit area. The force is applied perpendicular to the surface of the object. The SI unit of pressure is N/m² or Pa.
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure that a fluid exerts at a point due to the force of gravity.
The relationship between pressure on the bottom of the container, atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the depth of the fluid is given by:
[tex]P_{bottom}-P_{atm}=P_{depth}\\\\where\ P_{bottom}=pressure\ at\ the \ fluid\ bottom,\ P_{atm}=atmospheric\ pressure\\P_{depth}=pressure\ due\ to\ fluid\ depth=\rho gh. \ Hence:\\\\P_{bottom}-P_{atm}=\rho gh\\\\Given \ that\ P_{bottom}=115\ kPa=115*10^3\ Pa, let\ us\ assume\ P_{atm}=101\ kPa=101*10^3\ Pa,\rho=420\ kg/m^3,g=acceleration\ due\ to \ gravity=10\ m/s^2.\\\\Therefore:\\\\115*10^3-101*10^3=420*10*h\\\\14*10^3=4200h\\\\h=3.33\ m\\\\[/tex]
