Question

The depth of a liquid in a drum is 2m and the pressure exerted by the
liquid at bottom of the drum is 500N/m2. Calculate the density of the liquid.

Answer 1

Answer:

Under water, the pressure exerted on you increases with increasing depth. In this case, the pressure being exerted upon you is a result of both the weight of water above you and that of the atmosphere above you. ... The difference is that water is much denser than air, about 775 times as dense.
