The pressure exerted by water (density = 103 kg/m3) on the bottom surface (2m × 4m) of tank having dimensions 2m × 4m × 2m is
2.96 × 105 Pa
1.80 × 104 Pa
1.96 × 104 Pa
1.96 × 105 Pa
Pressure, P = Force / Area
= V pg / Area
= 1.568 × 105 / 8
= 1.96 × 104 Pa
Thrust acting on the bottom surface of a tank having dimensions 4 m × 4 m × 4 m when fully filled with water of density 103 kg m-3 is
A body of dimensions 2m×3m×4m is acted upon by a force of 50 N on the top surface (2m×3m). The pressure due to the force on that surface is
A cylindrical vessel of base radius 1 m and height 2m is completely filled with liquid of density 2 x 10 3 kg/m3. Thrust at the bottom =3 x 103, Ignore the atmospheric pressure and find the pressure exerted by the water at the bottom of the cylinder.
