Question

if a tank filled with water contains a block and the height of the water above point A within the block is 0.6meter, what's the pressure at point A?(a)5.88kPa(b)7.84kPa(c)3.85kPa(d)9.80kPa

Answer 1

your answer is 5.88kPa

i just took the test

Answer 2

The pressure exerted by a fluid solely relies on the depth or height of the fluid, its density, and the gravitational constant. These three are related in the equation:

Pressure = density x g x height

In the problem, point A is within the block inside the tank. The water above the block is assumed to be 0.6 meters. This gives a point A pressure of:

P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.81 m/s^2 * 0.6 m = 5,886 Pa or 5.88KPa
