Answer 60 m is correct. I agree.

Sanjay said:   8 years ago
Yes, they all are right, the answer must be in a meter.

@ALL.

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.

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.

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

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