Answer:

P = 800 Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure of water at the bottom of the pot can be given by the following formula:


P = \rho g h

where,

P = Pressure at the bottom of the pot = ?

ρ = density = 1000 kg/m³

h = height of water = 8 cm = 0.08 m

Therefore,


P = (1000\ kg/m^3)(10\ m/s^2)(0.08\ m)

P = 800 Pa
