58860N.m^-2 ? Assuming a head of 5m?
Yes. That's the air pressure in the tank headspace (over and above atmospheric pressure).

Thanks Chet - I had that value earlier, was you trying to see if I understood it?

The y value, the 1.7m - seems odd that I do not include that. I always thought we had to use all the data in chem eng problems. At least I have in the past!

Why do you think they put the y into the problem description?

Not really sure can only assume it would make the solution glaringly obvious if it wasn't there...?

Exactly.
