Question

A rectangular tank 6 m long and 3 m wide contains water up to a depth of 2.5 m.

Answer 1

Answer:

P = 24525 [Pa]

Explanation:

The pressure at the bottom of any vessel can be determined, only by knowing the depth or height of the liquid level. By means of the following equation.

$P=Ro*g*h$

where:

P = pressure [Pa]

Ro = density of the water = 1000 [kg/m³]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 2.5 [m]

Now replacing:

$P=1000*9.81*2.5\\P=24525 [Pa]$
