**Problem Statement:**In the figure, an open tank contains a layer of oil floating on top of a layer of water (of density 1000 kg/m³) that is 3.0 m thick, as shown. What must be the thickness of the oil layer if the gauge pressure at the bottom of the tank is to be 5.8 x 10⁴ Pa? The density of the oil is 531 kg/m³. Give your answer in meters with two decimal places. (Numerical answer only, no units.)**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram accompanying the problem shows a vertical cross-section of the open tank. The tank has two distinct layers of liquids: - The bottom layer is water with a thickness of 3.0 meters.- The top layer is oil with an unknown thickness, denoted by '?'.**Solution Approach:**We will use the hydrostatic pressure formula to solve for the thickness of the oil layer:\[ P = \rho g h \]where:- \( P \) is the pressure,- \( \rho \) is the density of the liquid,- \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately \( 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)),- \( h \) is the height (or thickness) of the liquid.Since the gauge pressure at the bottom of the tank is the sum of the pressures exerted by both the water and the oil layers, we set up the following equation:\[ P_{total} = P_{water} + P_{oil} \]Given:- \( P_{total} = 5.8 \times 10^4 \, \text{Pa} \)- Density of water \( \rho_{water} = 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \)- Thickness of water \( h_{water} = 3.0 \, \text{m} \)- Density of oil \( \rho_{oil} = 531 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \)Let's solve for the thickness of the oil layer \( h_{oil} \):\[ 5.8 \times 10^4 = (1000 \times 9.81 \times 3.0) + (531 \times 9.81 \times h_{oil}) \]\[ 5.8 \times 10^4

A company has several sensors in storage silos to detect the total pressure in the silos to ensure the tanks will not leak. Each tank is designed to withstand a maximum total pressure of 5.7 atmospheres [atm]. An engineer wants to use one of the silos to store liquid nitric acid, which has a density of 97 pound-mass per cubic foot [lbm/ft3]. If the tank is filled to a depth of 90 feet [ft], how much surface pressure in units of atmospheres [atm] can be applied to the top of the liquid inside the tank without exceeding the maximum total pressure of the silo?
