Question 32

A sealed processing vessel contains a stationary liquid of density 900 kg/m3. The total pressure beside an upper outlet is 180.0 kPa. A second outlet is 1.5 m vertically below the upper outlet.

Take g=10 N/kgg=10\ \mathrm{N/kg}g=10 N/kg. Use p=hρgp=h\rho gp=hρg. What is the total pressure beside the second outlet?
