Answer 1

Correct question is;

2, A rectangular Container of base 50 cm by 30cm is filled with water to be depth of 5cm. how much is the pressure exerted at the base? (take pw= 1000kg /m3 and g=10m/s)​

Answer:

P = 500 N/m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure exerted at the base is the hydrostatic pressure and it is given by the formula;

P = ρgh

Where;

ρ is density = 1000 kg/m³

g = 10 m/s²

h is depth = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Thus;

P = 1000 × 10 × 0.05

P = 500 N/m²
