Question
a) A vessels with the area of base as 100 m² contains water up to height of 1.5 m, and thedensity of water is 1000 kgm-3, then calculate pressure [2]
Solution
To calculate the pressure, we can use the formula for pressure in a fluid column which is given by:
P = ρgh
where: P is the pressure, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the fluid column.
Given: ρ = 1000 kg/m³ (density of water), g = 9.81 m/s² (approximate acceleration due to gravity on Earth), and h = 1.5 m (height of the water column).
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
P = 1000 kg/m³ * 9.81 m/s² * 1.5 m = 14715 Pa
So, the pressure at the bottom of the vessel is 14715 Pascal.
