Question

Calculate the pressure exerted by water at the depth of 10 m.The density of water is 10kg/m3, and g=10m/s2


Open in App
Solution

Step1: Given data

The density of water (d) = 10kg/m3.

Depth of water (h) = 10 m,

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10m/s2

The pressure exerted by water (P) =?

Step2: Formula used

Pressure=height×density×gravityP=hdg...............(a)

Step 3: Calculating the pressure

Putting the given values in equation (a)

P=10m×103kg/m3×10m/s2P=105N/m2

Hence, the pressure exerted by the water at depth of 10 m is 105N/m2.
