The pressure at its bottom
Solution
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure caused by the weight of a liquid.
The weight of a liquid is affected by the force of gravity.
The hydrostatic pressure of a liquid can be formulated:
Ph = hydrostatic pressure (N / m², Pa)
ρ = density of liquid (kg / m³)
g = acceleration due to gravity (m / s²)
h = height / depth of liquid surface (m)
ρ = density of water (kg / m³) = 1000
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/ sec²
The pressure
