Question

A water tank is filled with water up to 3.5m in height. calculate the pressure given by the tank at its bottom.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the height of the water tank is 3.5 m.

Now, the formula for pressure is;

P = ρgh

Where;

ρ is density of water = 1000 kg/m³

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = 3.5 m

Thus;

P = 1000 × 9.8 × 3.5

P = 34300 N/m²
