A storage tank has a horizontal base of area 3.2 m23.2\text{ m}^23.2 m2 and is filled with a bio-fuel of density 850 kg/m3850\text{ kg/m}^3850 kg/m3 to a depth of 1.5 m1.5\text{ m}1.5 m.
Calculate the force exerted on the base of the tank due to the bio-fuel.
(Take the acceleration due to gravity, g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8\text{ m/s}^2g=9.8 m/s2)
