  • Height (h) = 10 m
  • Density (ρ) = 1000 Kg/m^3
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s^2
  • We know, pressure in a fluid = hρg
  • Therefore, the pressure exerted by a column of fresh water
  • = hρg
  • = (10 × 1000 × 10) Pa
  • = 100000 Pa

Answer:

100000 Pa

Hope you could understand.
