Answer:

The pressure of the water is 58.8 Kpa

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Level of water = Height, h = 6 m

Acceleration due to Gravity, g = 9.8 ms⁻¹

Density of Water, ρ = 1000 Kgm⁻³

Pressure of fluid = ρ*g*h ........................ (1)

Substitute the above known parameters in the equation

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

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

Pressure of fluid = 58,800 Kg/s/m² or 58,800 Pa or 58.8 Kpa
