Question

Water pressure is 200 Pa at a given depth in a pool, how much force is applied to an area of 10m ^ 2 on a vertical pool wall there.

Answer 1

Given:

Pressure, P = 200 Pa

Area, A = 10 m^2

Let's find how much force is applied.

To find the force, apply the pressure formula below:

`P=(F)/(A)`

Rewrite the formula for F, to find force:

`F=P\ast A`

Thus, we have:

`\begin{gathered} F=200\ast10 \\ \\ F=2000\text{ N} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the force applied is = 2000 N

ANSWER:

2000 N
