Answer:
<em>3924 Pa</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
Volume of cylinder = 2 L = 0.002 m^3 (1000 L = 1 m^3)
diameter of the inner cylinder = 8 cm = 0.08 m (100 cm = 1 m)
radius of the inner cylinder = diameter/2 = 0.08/2 = 0.04 m
area of the inner cylinder =
where = 3.142,
and r = radius = 0.04 m
area of inner cylinder = 3.142 x = 0.005 m^2
<em>height h of the water in this cylinder = volume/area</em>
h = 0.002/0.005 = 0.4 m
<em>pressure at the bottom of the cylinder due to the height of water = pgh</em>
where
p = density of water = 1000 kg/m^3
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2
h = height of water within this cylinder = 0.4 m
pressure = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.4 = <em>3924 Pa</em>
