An open tank contains water to a depth of 2m and oil over it to a depth of 1m. If the specific gravity of oil is 0.8, then the pressure intensity at the interface of the two fluid layers will be

  • A. 9750 N/m²
  • B. 8720 N/m²
  • C. 9347 N/m²
  • D. 7848 N/m²

Answer: D. 7848 N/m²

Explanation: Pressure at interface = $\rho_{oil} g h_{oil} = 800 \times 9.81 \times 1 = 7848$ Pa.
