Question

A water tank is filled with water. What will be the pressure of the water when the level of the water is 6m?

Answer 1

pressure = density x g x height

= 1000 x 10 x 6 Pascal

=60000 Pascal

OR 60 kP

Answer 2

The pressure of the water is 58,800 Kg/s/m² or 58,800 Pa or 58.8 KPa

Step-by-step explanation:

Height, h = 6 m

Gravity, g = 9.8 ms⁻¹

Density of Water, ρ = 1000 Kgm⁻³

P (fluid) = ρ*g*h

P (fluid) = 1000 x 9.8 x 6 (Kgm⁻³ x ms⁻¹ x m)

P (fluid) = 1000 x 9.8 x 6 (Kgm⁻³ x ms⁻¹ x m)

P (fluid) = 58,800 Kg/s/m²

P (fluid) = 58,800 Pa or 58.8 KPa
