    16,000 N/m^2

    Explanation:

    Given;

    Force = weight of fluid = 192,000N

    Length of tank l = 4 m

    Width w = 3 m

    depth d = 2 m

    Pressure is the measure of the force acting perpendicular to a surface per unit area.

    Pressure = force/area

    Pressure = F/A

    Area A at the base = length * width = l*w

    Pressure = F / (l*w) = 192000N / (4*3) m^2

    Pressure = 16,000 N/m^2
