    The mass of the liquid = 10538 kg

    Explanation:

    The pressure in a liquid is

    P = ρgh ... Equation 1

    ρ = P/gh ... Equation 2

    Where P = pressure, ρ = density, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

    Given: p = 1.3 atm, h = 2.0 m, g = 9.81 m/s²

    If, 1 atm = 1.013*10⁵ N/m²

    Then, P = 1.3*1.013*10⁵ N/m² = 1.3169*10⁵ N/m²

    Substituting in equation 2,

    ρ = 1.3169*10⁵ / (9.81*2)

    ρ = 1.3169*10⁵/19.62

    ρ = 6712.03 kg/m³.

    But Density,

    ρ = m/v

    m = ρ * v ... Equation 3

    Where m = mass of the liquid, v = volume of the liquid in the vat

    v = πd²h/4, where d = diameter = 1.0 m, h = 2.0 m.

    v = 3.14 (1) ²*2/4

    v = 1.57 m³ also, ρ = 6712.03 kg/m³.

    Substituting into equation 3

    m = 1.57*6712.03

    m = 10537.887 kg

    m ≈ 10538 kg.

    Thus the mass of the liquid = 10538 kg
