Answer

$10.69\text{ m}$

Work Step by Step

$P=700\cdot 133.322=93,325.4\text{ Pa}$ We determine the specific gravity: $\gamma_{oil}=SG\cdot \gamma_{water}$ $=0.89\cdot 9810$ $=8730.9\text{ N/m}^3$ Use the hydrostatic formula: $P=\gamma\cdot h$ $h=\frac{P}{\gamma}=\frac{93,325.4}{8730.9} \approx 10.69\text{ m}$
