Question

Calculate the pressure exterted by liquid having a density of 13600 kg/m3 and a depth of 12 meter.

Answer 1

The density of the liquid is,

`d=13600kg/m^3`

The depth is,

`h=12\text{ m}`

The pressure at any depth for a liquid is given by,

`P=\text{hdg}`

Substituting the values we get,

`\begin{gathered} P=12*13600*9.8 \\ =1.599*10^6N/m^2 \end{gathered}`

The required pressure at that depth is,

`1.599*10^6N/m^2`
