Question

If a total force exerted by water in a container with a bottom area of 2 square meters is 450 newtons, what's the water pressure at the bottom of the container?

A. 0.900 kPa
B. 0.225 kPa
C. 0.300 kPa
D. 0.575 kPa

Answer 1

Given:
Force=450N
area=A=2m²
pressure=P=?
Pressure=Force/Area
=450/2
=225N/m²
=225pascal
=0.225kPa
∴ The pressure exerted at the bottom of the container is 0.225kPa
∴ option( B) is the correct answer.
