Suppose you pour water into a container until it reaches a depth of 21 cm. next, you carefully pour in a 11-cm thickness of olive oil so that it floats on top of the water. what is the pressure at the bottom of the container? (express your answer to four significant digits.)

3040. Pascals. The density of olive oil is 0.911 g/cm^3 and the density of water is 1.000 g/cm^3. To calculate the pressure of 1 cm of water, 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.01 m = 98.000 Pa To calculate the pressure of 1 cm of olive oil 911 kg/m^3 * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.01 m = 89.278 Pa Now to calculate the pressure at the bottom of the container, simply add the products of how many cm of each fluid you have. So 21 * 98.000 Pa + 11 * 89.278 Pa = 2058 Pa + 982.058 Pa = 3040.058 Pa So the pressure at the bottom of the container will be 3040. Pascals.
