Hydrostatic pressure The sketch shows a ship with a draught of 12 m. The ship has a bottom tank that is 1 m deep and completely filled with diesel oil with a density of 900 kg/m. 12 m Avlufterr Tanktopp 1m] a) Calculate the hydrostatic pressure on the underside of the boat, given that the density of seawater is 1030 kg/m. b) There is a leak at the bottom of the ship. What will be the pressure against the top of the tank? c) How high does the diesel oil rise in the vent pipe? (Disregard the seawater level inside the tank) After successfully emptying the tank, it is filled with seawater. You decide to pressurize air into the tank through the vent pipe to force out the seawater. d) What minimum excess pressure must the air have? Answer in bar.
