Question

Calculate the pressure of water at the bottom of a well if the depth ofvwater os 10 m?​

Answer 1

P=98000 Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure Exerted by a Column of Liquid

The pressure P exerted by a column of liquid of height h and density
`\rho` is given by the hydrostatic pressure equation:

P =
`\rho .g.h`

Where
`\rho` is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration of gravity
`g=9.8m/s^2`, and h is the height of the column of liquid.

The density of water can be taken as

`\rho`=1000
`Kg/m^3`

The well has a depth of water of h=10 m, thus the pressure at the bottom is:

`P=1000\ Kg/m^3\cdot 9.8\ m/s^2\cdot 10\ m`

P=98000 Pa
