Figure 1 shows a cylindrical storage drum filled with vegetable oil.

The base of the drum has an area of 0.40 m2.

The force exerted on the base of the drum, due to the oil, is 1800 N.

A diagram of a cylindrical storage drum partially filled with oil. The circular base of the drum is highlighted to indicate the surface area where the force acts.

Calculate the pressure, due to the oil, on the base of the drum. State the unit.
