Question

The depth of a pond is 1.5m. Calculate the pressure caused by the water at the bottom of the pond.​

Answer 1

Area=1.5(1.5)=2.25m^2

Force of gravity=10N

\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=\dfrac{Force}{Area}\end{gathered}

⟼Pressure=

Area

Force

\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=\dfrac{10}{2.25}\end{gathered}

⟼Pressure=

2.25

10

\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=4.4Pa\end{gathered}

⟼Pressure=4.4Pa

Answer 2

• Area=1.5(1.5)=2.25m^2
• Force of gravity=10N

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=(Force)/(Area)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=(10)/(2.25)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=4.4Pa`
