Question

2. What is the water pressure at a depth of 24 m in a lake? [Density of water, p = 1 000 kg m- and gravitational acceleration, g = 9.81 ms-²]​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pressure = ρgh

pressure (p) is measured in pascals (Pa)

density (ρ) is measured in kilograms per metre cubed (kg/m3)

The fore of gravitational field strength (g) is measured in N/kg or m/s 2

height of column (h) is measured in metres (m)

Answer = 235,200 Pa

Explanation:

Pressure = ρgh

Pressure = 1,000 x 9.8 x 24

Pressure = 235,200 Pa
