Solution

The correct option is A

512000 Pa


The expression of pressure at the bottom of a liquid of height h and density d is given as:
P=ρgh
Given, density, ρ=1024 kgm3, depth, h=50 m and acceleration due to gravity, g=10 ms2.
Hence, pressure, P = ρgh=1024×50×10=512000 kg m1s2.
We know, 1 kg m1s2=1 Pascal (Pa)
The pressure is 512000 Pa.
