Fluid pressure on Venus
Not what you're looking for?
The surface pressure on Venus is 92 atm, and the acceleration due to gravity there is 0.894g. In a future exploratory mission, an upright cylindrical tank of benzene is sealed at the top but still pressurized at 92 atm just above the benzene. The tank has a diameter of 1.67 m, and the benzene column is 10.00 m tall. Ignore any effects due to the very high temperature on Venus. What total force is exerted on the inside surface of the bottom of the tank?
