Question

The pressure P exerted by a liquid on an object varies directly as the depth d of the object. If an object at depth 3m undergoes a pressure of 485 Kg/m2, find the pressure on an object at 5m

Answer 1

3/485 = 7/ x

then 3x = 7*485 = 3395

then x = 1131.67 kg/m2

Hope this helps! Have a great day!
