Homework Statement
In a sample of seawater taken from an oil spill, an oil layer 4.0 cm thich floats on 55 cm of water. If the density of the oil is 0.75 x 10^3 kg/m^3, what is the absolute pressure on the bottom of the container.
p= 0.75x10^3 kg/m^3
g = 9.8m/s^2
h=.55m
p=?
pa = density of seawater??
Homework Equations
p=pa+ pgh
The Attempt at a Solution
p = pa+ (0.75x10^3 kg/m^3)(9.8m/s^2)(.55m)
4 cm =??
