Question

If a tank contains water 4 m deep, what is the pressure at the bottom of the tank? (Neglect the atmospheric pressure.)

Answer 1

Given:

Water 4 m deep

Required:

Pressure at the bottom of the tank

Solution:

p2 – p1 = gh

p2 – p1 = p = gh

p = gh = 1000kg/m3 (9.8m/s2)(4m)

p = 39200 Pa
