Problem

A storage tank open to the atmosphere contains a 0.25 m layer of oil of density

800\,\text{kg}\,\text{m}^{-3}

floating on water. The absolute pressure measured at the bottom of the tank is

1.58\times10^{5}\,\text{Pa}

. Atmospheric pressure is

1.01\times10^{5}\,\text{Pa}

and

g = 9.8\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}

. Calculate the depth of the water layer.
