Answer to Question #295722 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Manuel

Question

The depth of the fluid is 10 m. What is the specific gravity if the pressure of the fluid at 10 m is 100 kPa?

Answer 1

Answer

Pressure at h=10m is P=100kPa

So $P=dgh\\$

Density of fluid

$d=\frac{P}{gh}\\=\frac{10000}{10\times9.81}\\=101.94kg/m^3$

So specific gravity

$S=\frac{fluid \space density}{water \space density}\\=\frac{101.94}{997}\\=0.102$
