Pressure due to a column of water is ( depth or height * density * acceleration due to gravity ). Assuming acceleration due to gravity to be 10m/s^2 and... show more

You said pressure, so the area is irrelevant. Other answer. Did you actually mean the force of that volume of water? 9 * 3 * 24 = 648 m3 648 tonnes,... show more

Pressure = (1,000kg x g x 3m) = 29,400Pa., or 29.4kPa. (9.8 used for g). 
FORCE on bottom = 29.4 x (9 x 24) = 6,350.4kN, or 6.3504 MN.

First of all we will find the volume of cube $9 \times 3 \times 24 = 648mcu$We know that pressure in fluid = v*density*gravityTaking the density ...  More
