Calculate the pressure exerted at the bottom of a tank of water 5 m deep. Take the density of water as 1,000 kg m−3 and g = 10 m s−2.
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
50,000 Pa, or 50 kPa
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
The pressure due to a liquid column is hρg = 5 × 1,000 × 10 = 50,000 Pa. Atmospheric pressure would be added to this to give the total pressure.
