Answer:
1299 N/m²
Explanation:
Applying,
P = ρgh............... Equation 1
Where P = pressure of water at the bottom of the container, ρ = density of water, h = height of water in the container, g = acceleration due to gravity.
but,
V = πr²h............ Equation 2
Where V = volume of water, r = radius of the container
make h the subject of the equation
h = V/πr².................. Equation 3
From the question,
Given: V = 200 liters, = 200000 cm³, r = 70 cm
Constant: π = 22/7
Substitute these values into equation 3
h = 200000/[(22/7)(70²)]
h = 12.99 cm
h = 0.1299 m
Also given
Constant: g = 10 m/s², ρ = 1000 kg/m³
Substitute these values into equation 1
P = 0.1299(10)(1000)
p = 1299 N/m²
