Question 6
Easy

An engineer is testing the pressure distribution in a vertical column filled with a synthetic hydraulic oil as part of a system calibration procedure.

A digital pressure transmitter is mounted on a mechanical slider next to a vertical scale, allowing it to be lowered to precise depths within the oil column.

Some of the readings collected during the calibration are shown in the table below:

Depth (m)Pressure (kPa)
0.10101.4
0.20102.3
0.30103.2
0.40104.1
0.50105.0
0.60105.9

The engineer has plotted some of these results on the calibration graph below, but two points are missing.

Hydraulic oil pressure vs depth calibration graph

Plot the two missing points on the graph.
