The pressure of a liquid is given by P = pgh. Calculate the pressure (in SI unit) if the

density of water, p is 1 g cm-, the acceleration due to gravity, g is 10 m s?, and the
height of water, h is 50 cm.

Answer:

5000 Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

First collect the data you've been given already and make sure to convert into the right units;

Density = 1 g/cm³ ...... 1000 Kg/

acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/

Height = 50 cm......0.5 m

after collecting the data, use the formula to solve

pressure = pgh

= 1000 × 10 × 0.5

= 5000 Pa

hope this helps
