Question

The pressure exerted by a liquid column of depth 0.5 m on the base of its

container is 5000 Nm Find the density of the liquid
e Density of water is 1000 kg/m". What will be the volume of 35000 kg water?
​

Answer 1

1020.4kg/m³

35m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Depth = 0.5m

Pressure exerted = 5000N/m²

Unknown = density of the liquid = ?

Solution:

To find the density of this unknown liquid, we use the expression below:

Pressure of liquid = density x height x acceleration due to gravity

5000 = density x 0.5 x 9.8

Density = 1020.4kg/m³

B.

Density of water = 1000kg/m³

Mass of water = 35000kg

Unknown:

Volume of water = ?

Solution:

The volume of water can be derived from the expression below:

Volume =
`(mass)/(density)`

Volume =
`(35000)/(1000)` = 35m³
