Question

What pressure is exerted on the bottom of a 0.500-m-wide by 0.900-m-long water tank that can hold 50.0 kg of water by the weight of the water in it when it is full

Answer 1

Answer:

1088.9N/m2

Explanation:

Calculation for What pressure is exerted

First step is to find the area of bottom of the tank using formula

Area=Width*breadth

Let plug in the formula

Area=0.5*0.9

Area=0.45m2

Now let calculate what pressure is exerted using this formula

Pressure=Force/Area

Where,

Force=Mass *Gasoline

Area=Width of the tank* Length of the tank

Let plug in the formula

Pressure=50*9.8/0.5*0.9

Pressure=490/0.45

Pressure=1088.9N/m2

Therefore What pressure is exerted is 1088.9N/m2
