    28,126pascal

    Explanation:

    Hydrostatic pressure exerted on the bottom of the tank can be calculated using the formula

    P = hpg where;

    h is the depth of the tank = 3.5m

    p is the density of the kerosene = 820kg/m³

    g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

    Substituting the values into the formula we have;

    P = 3.5*820*9.8

    P = 28,126Pascal
