Incomplete question.The complete question is

A tall cylinder contains 20 cm of water. Oil is carefully poured into the cylinder, where it floats on top of the water, until the total liquid depth is 40 cm. What is the gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder? Suppose that the density of oil is 900 kg/m3.

Answer:

Total gauge pressure= 3724Pa or 3.724kPa

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure (water alone) = (1,000 x 9.8 x 0.2m) = 1,960Pa.

Pressure (oil on top) = (900 x9.8 x 0.2m) = 1,764Pa.

Total gauge pressure at bottom = (1,960 + 1,764) = 3724Pa or 3.724kPa
