Question

The water in the plumbing in a house is at a gauge pressure of 300,000 pa. What force does this cause on the top of the tank inside a water heater if the area of the top is 0. 2 m^2?

Answer 1

Answer:

60 000 N

Explanation:

1 pa = 1 N/m^2

you have 300 000 of these   = 300 000 N /m^2

    but only an area of .2 m^2

                    300 000 N / m^2  * .2 m^2 = 60 000 N
