Answer:

P = 17658 Pa = 17.658 KPa

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure applied by a liquid at a given depth is given by the following formula:


P = \rho gh\\

where,

P = Pressure = ?

ρ = density = 9000 kg/m³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = depth = 40 cm/2 = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Therefore,


P = (9000\ kg/m^3)(9.81\ m/s^2)(0.2\ m)\\\\

P = 17658 Pa = 17.658 KPa
