Problem

Crude oil of density 800 kg m−3800\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3} fills a storage tank open to the atmosphere. Calculate the absolute pressure at a point 5 m5\,\text{m} below the oil surface. (Take atmospheric pressure =1.01×105 Pa=1.01\times10^{5}\,\text{Pa} and g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}.)
