Question

A vessel contains water up to a height of 1.5 m. Taking the density of water 10 3  kg m -3 , acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m s -2  and area of base of vessel 100 cm 2 , calculate: (a) the pressure and (b) the thrust at the base of vessel.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The answer is given below

Answer 2

$\bold{(a) \: Pressure} \\ \bold{Height = 1.5m} \\ \bold{Density = 1000 kg/m³} \\ \bold{Acceleration \: due \: to \: gravity \: = \: 9.8m/s²} \\ \bold \green{Pressure \: = \: hpg} \\ \bold{ = \: 1.5 \times 1000 \times 9.8} \\ \bold{ = \: 14700 Pa} \\ \bold \red{ = \: 1.47 \times {10}^{4} N/m² \: \: ....ans}$

$\bold{(b) \: Thrust \: at \: the \: base \: of \: vessel} \\ \bold{Pressure \: = \: \frac{force}{area} } \\ \bold \green{force \: = \: Pressure \times area} \\ \bold{ = \: 1.47 \times {10}^{4} \times 100} \\ \bold \red{ = \: 147 N \: \: ....ans}$

Hope it helps you...
