Question

The depth of water on the Thada lake of Arghakhanchi district is 8m, find the pressure exerted by water at the bottom of it​

Answer 1

Answer:

78.4 Pascal

Explanation:

Given,

Depth of the lake = 8 m

Density of water = 1 kg/m^3

Acceleration due to Gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

Find,

Pressure = x ( Let)

Formula to find Pressure under water,

∆ Pressure = Height(Depth) × Density × Acceleration due to Gravity

Therefore,

x = 8 × 1 × 9.8

x = 78.4 Pascal ( or approx. 78 Pascal )

Therefore, Pressure under lake is 78.4 Pascal.
