Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a tank filled with oil (density = 900 kg/m³) and water (density = 1000 kg/m³). If the height of oil is 5m and water is 2m, what is the pressure at the bottom of the tank? (Assume g = 9.81 m/s²)
💡 Hint: Don't forget to calculate pressure contributions from both liquids!
A submarine operates at a depth of 300 m in saltwater (density approx 1025 kg/m³). Calculate the pressure it endures.
💡 Hint: Use the formula we discussed earlier and remember to add atmospheric pressure!
