A maintenance robot moves vertically through a tank containing one liquid.

The table shows the result of the first test.

Starting depthFinishing depthIncrease in pressure due to the liquid
0.50 m1.30 m6800 Pa

Gravitational field strength, g=10 N/kgg = 10\ \text{N/kg}g=10 N/kg.

The second test covers the section of the tank from 1.30 m to 2.00 m below the surface.

Calculate the increase in pressure during the second test.
