Question

The water is filled to a height of 100 m in a container. Find the pressure

exerted by water at the depth of 50 m. ( Take acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms-2



and density of water = 1000 kg / m3

)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

pressure=dendity *gravity* height

              =1000*10*50

              =5,00,000 Pa

Answer 2

begin by solving the equation P = hρg for depth

ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth.

here h=100-50=50

ρ=1000kg/m3

g=10

so pressure P=50m × 1000kg/m3×10m/s2

=500000kg/ms2

( kg/ms2) = Newton

1 Pa = 1 N / m2 ≡ 1 kg / m · s2
