1kg/cm2 = (10/s.g)m of any fluid.
4.8kg/cm2 = (4.8×10)/0.8m of oil.
= 60m of oil.

60m is the right answer.

Yes, it should be 60m.

1 kg=9.81 N so P=4.8kg/cm2 which is equal to 4.8 x 9.81 x 10000 N/m2(1m = 100cm).
So now P=w.h where w=spG unit wt of water=0.8 x 9.81.
hence h=60000 cm or 60m.

P= 4.8*10^4Kg/m^2.
pressure head= p/y = 4.8*10^4/ 0.8*1000.
= 60m.

It should be 60m not 60cm.

(4.8*10000*10)/(.8*1000*10) = 60m is the correct answer.

P = wh.
w = 1 g/cc = 1000kg/cc.
P = 4.8kg/cm^2 = 4.8 * 10^4 kg/m^2.
4.8 * 10^4 = 0.8 * 1000 vh.
48 = 0.8h.
h = 48/0.8.
h = 60m.

P = 4.8kg/cm^2---> (1)
Now we know that 1kg=10N, put in---> (1)

P=48N/cm^2.
W=.8.
Now calculate hight by formula-P=w.h.
And get answer 60 cm.
